This discussion addresses the efforts to design and implement a family court in Singapore. Three main aspects are covered in separate sections. The first concerns the definition and brief history of the family court. The second section succinctly examines the three main factors fostering the collaboration across fields of knowledge in the planning and setting up of family courts. I conclude in the third section with some comments on the potential of this collaboration for the solution or containment of family problems locally, based on Singapore's historical and current situation.
