The correct answer is False

Step-by-step explanation:

In the justice system, criminal courts are specialized courts that deal with criminal cases, this means they deal with individual responsible of offenses against the law such as robbery, murder, etc. that lead to punishments or sanctions by the justice. However, divorce and child custody are not considered as offenses against law and although they can take place in a court as a judge needs to make decisions they are not handled in criminal courts. Therefore, it is false divorce and child custody are handled in criminal courts.
