Reacting to her appointment to the Rivers State Family Court, Dr Stephanie expressed gratitude to God and thanked the governor’s wife for choosing her to be one of the family counsellors at the Rivers State Family Court.

 

Her words: “I’m very excited, I’m happy and so grateful. And I thank the Lord for such an honour. For over two decades, I have been counselling couples on relationships and family, now, I’m grateful to God for the opportunity to do it on another level. I’m grateful to her Excellency, Justice Eberechi Nyesom Wike. To God be all the glory.”

 

Speaking on the importance of the family court and what she is bringing into the ministry to make the institution and by extension our society better, Stephanie said, Family Courts are important because of the importance of family in raising a child – a dysfunctional family will result in a dysfunctional society, and the family court is designed to bring forth a holistic family for a better society.

 

“Family Courts are courts established to hear cases related to family and domestic relationships. They also address child custody cases and divorce. They make decisions and give orders in court concerning conflicts related to marriage or divorce and child custody,” she said.

 

The three main important duties of the family court according to Dr Stephanie Oarhe when it comes to children are to rehabilitate, Reinform and reintegrate the children.

 

As a counsellor in the Rivers State Family Court, Dr Stephanie Oarhe is bringing her over 20 years of experience in relationship and family counselling.
