Thanks, Veriana, from an ex-Zimbo! Rather as I thought but it would be Minors w/out the apostrophe, I think.

I agree with you that it sounds odd to include "Minors" in the title; however, "family court" by itself, and/or domestic relations court, at least implicitly includes children.

agree  Donna Sandin: But instead of minors, it would be "juvenile" We have Juvenile Courts but this court is more than just Juveniles.
