The Tribunal da Relação do Porto declared the Family Court competent to hear the parental power regulation action. The plaintiff argued for jurisdiction based on the pending divorce proceedings between the spouses. The court ruled that the Family Court must handle the case because the divorce action was already pending at the time the parental power regulation process was initiated.
