Minister of Justice and Public Order Stefi Drakou welcomes with great satisfaction the unanimous passage of the bill, of the first package of the four bills concerning the modernisation of family law.[/B]
In a written statement, he said that a very important step has been taken today as child-centred modern concepts such as consensual divorce, equality between spouses and the normalisation of family relations have been adopted.
At the same time, she says, the bills contribute to speeding up the adjudication time of family cases as it is no longer required to be heard by three judges but by one.
Ms. Drakou expresses her sincere thanks to the political parties that supported the bills with their proposals and their positive vote, and her optimism that with the prevailing consensual climate, the remaining four bills currently under discussion, which complete the modernization of the Family Law, will receive similar treatment.
He also thanked the members of the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs for the excellent cooperation and especially its Chairman, as well as all the stakeholders, whose views helped in the final formulation of the bills.
