Domestic Relations is part of the Family Court.

The Family Court is a division of the Lawrence County Court of Common Pleas.

Although it has other duties, the Domestic Relations Section is mainly responsible for working with families to establish and collect support for children and spouses.

The Domestic Relations Section is made up of judges, administrators, conference officers, enforcement officers, investigators, attorneys and various technical and clerical workers. The staff is assisted by a large computer system which is used to track cases, keep financial records, and is a tool which helps in the enforcement of support orders.
