The Tribunal da Relação do Porto upheld the jurisdiction of the Family Court to hear third-party objections against asset freezing orders between spouses. The lower court ruled that such objections fall within the Family Court's exclusive competence to prepare and adjudicate matters related to spousal property disputes, whether the freezing is preliminary or incidental to a divorce action. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, confirming that the Family Court is the proper forum for resolving these specific third-party challenges.
