court intervention
Legal system intercedes
Court intervention is formal involvement by a court in a matter that might otherwise remain private or be handled by other institutions.
Child protective services may seek court intervention when a family situation becomes dangerous.
The phrase often appears in discussions of custody disputes, mental health commitments, or cases where informal resolution has failed: The school district requested court intervention to enforce attendance.
