Approved Resolution No. 01-2016 of the Committee on Family Courts and Juvenile Concerns Relative to Cases Filed with Family Courts Which Should Instead be Filed with RTCs for Trial and Adjudication
OCA Circular No. 106-2019 provides guidance to all trial courts regarding the resolution of issues affecting family courts, as proposed by the Committee on Family Courts and Juvenile Concerns. The approved Resolution No. 01-2016 aims to address concerns raised during the 2015 First National Summit for Family Court Judges, specifically relating to cases that should be adjudicated in regular trial courts rather than family courts. This initiative seeks to unclog the dockets of family courts without requiring amendments to existing laws or the Rules of Court. The circular emphasizes the importance of adherence to these guidelines for effective judicial management.

For the information, guidance and strict observance of all trial courts, appended herein as Annex "A" is the Resolution dated 18 October 2016 of the Honorable Court En Banc in A.M.

In the 18 October 2016 Resolution, the Honorable Court approved the proposed guidelines of the CFCJC which address the specific concerns raised during the National Summit which will not require any amendment of the Rules of Court or existing laws, particularly to unclog the dockets of Family Courts, as there are cases filed with the Family Courts which, based on settled jurisprudence, should instead be filed with regular courts for trial and adjudication.
