What are examples of civil issues?

Robbery and Assault
Divorce and Child Custody
Murder and Theft
Vandalism and Harassment

The correct answer is: Divorce and Child Custody

Civil issues typically involve disputes between private parties, which can include individuals or organizations, where the outcome usually seeks compensation or a specific action rather than criminal penalties. Divorce and child custody are prime examples of civil issues because they pertain to family law, focusing on the legal responsibilities and rights of individuals within familial relationships. These matters are resolved in civil courts and involve negotiations and legal judgments that do not lead to criminal charges or incarceration, making them distinctly different from criminal matters like robbery, assault, murder, or theft, which are classified as criminal offenses.
