    RULE ON CUSTODY OF MINORS AND WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS


    IN RELATION TO CUSTODY OF MINORS

    Section 19. Appeal. - No appeal from the decision shall be allowed unless the appellant has filed a
    motion for reconsideration or new trial within fifteen days from notice of judgment.

    An aggrieved party may appeal from the decision by filing a Notice of Appeal within fifteen days from
    notice of the denial of the motion for reconsideration or new trial and serving a copy thereof on the
    adverse parties.

    Section 20. Petition for writ of habeas corpus. - A verified petition for a writ of habeas corpus
    involving custody of minors shall be filed with the Family Court. The writ shall be enforceable within
    its judicial region to which the Family Court belongs.

    However, the petition may be filed with the regular court in the absence of the presiding judge of the
    Family Court, provided, however, that the regular court shall refer the case to the Family Court as
    soon as its presiding judge returns to duty.

    The petition may also be filed with the appropriate regular courts in places where there are no
    Family Courts.

    The writ issued by the Family Court or the regular court shall be enforceable in the judicial region
    where they belong.

    The petition may likewise be filed with the Supreme Court, Court of Appeals, or with any of its
    members and, if so granted, the writ shall be enforceable anywhere in the Philippines. The writ may
    be made returnable to a Family Court or to any regular court within the region where the petitioner
    resides or where the minor may be found for hearing and decision on the merits.

    Upon return of the writ, the court shall decide the issue on custody of minors. The appellate court, or
    the member thereof, issuing the writ shall be furnished a copy of the decision.

    Section 21. Confidentiality of proceedings. - The hearings on custody of minors may, at the


    discretion of the court, be closed to the public and the records of the case shall not be released to
    non-parties without its approval.

    Section 22. Effectivity. - This Rule shall take effect on May 15, 2003 following its publication in a
    newspaper of general circulation not later than April 30, 2003.
