Spanish term or phrase: proceso de familia
Buenos días,

Mi consulta se relaciona con el artículo 52; sin embargo copio el 51 para proporcionar un mayor contexto del tema:

Art. 51 Obligación de denunciar la violencia doméstica o intrafamiliar
Toda persona que tenga conocimiento de un hecho constitutivo de violencia doméstica o intrafamiliar, deberá denunciarlo o dar aviso a la Policía Nacional. La denuncia puede hacerse de manera escrita, verbal o mediante lenguaje de señas. Cuando la denuncia sea verbal o mediante lenguaje de señas, esta se hará constar en acta que levantará el agente policial.

Art. 52 Uso de otras instancias
Sin perjuicio de que se inicie o continúe el **proceso de familia**, la parte interesada podrá interponer formal acusación penal en contra de la persona agresora ante las instancias correspondientes.

En el caso de los pueblos originarios y afrodescendientes, la autoridad comunal de acuerdo con el derecho consuetudinario y las leyes vigentes podrán adoptar medidas de protección de urgencia para proteger a víctimas de violencia.

Just a note concerning "proceeding" vs. "proceedings":

I am unaware of the origin of the idea that "proceeding" doesn't exist in the plural. Bryan Garner in his "Garner's Dictionary of Legal Usage" (Oxford University Press, 3rd ed., 2011, p. 714) underscores that "In reference to business done by a tribunal of any kind, 'the proceeding' and 'the proceedings' are interchangeable. And both are so common that it would be impossible to brand either one as inferior. But if several hearings are referred to, 'proceedings' is a better choice."

Since Manuel's text is in the singular, I chose "proceeding," although it is logical that the "Family Proceedings Court" that Barbara refers to is in the plural, since it obviously would handle multiple proceedings.

As dictionary entries, Black's Law Dictionary list 20 types of proceeding (adjudicatory/administrative/collateral/competency/contempt/criminal/ex parte, etc.)

agree  philgoddard: I think it's slightly more common to put an S on the end, but no big deal. As you say, they're interchangeable.

The Family Proceedings Court (FPC) is that part of the court service where hearings relating to family issues. This court is much like an ordinary court in that the magistrate's ruling is final and can be appealed against should any party feel there is sufficient grounds.

The Family Proceedings Court is also where the Family Panel meet to discuss how to best hear cases relating to family matters.
