Title XI — Summary Judicial Proceedings in the Family Law
Article 238
ELI5— what this means for you
Summary judicial proceedings under the Family Code are designed to be quick and less formal than regular court cases. They are used for specific family law matters where speed and simplicity serve the family's interest — for example, presumptive death petitions and certain parental authority disputes.
Official text — EO 209
Until modified by the Supreme Court, the procedural rules provided for in this Title shall apply as regards separation in fact between husband and wife, abandonment by one of the other, and incidents involving parental authority. (n)
