507.0.1. In family matters, written arguments, instead of factums, are filed by the parties together with the other documents relevant to the appeal, according to the procedure prescribed by the Rules of practice of the Court of Appeal in civil matters. The date and time of the appeal hearing are determined by the judge or the clerk, and a schedule for the filing of the arguments and other documents is determined with the parties by the judge or the clerk.
However, a judge of the Court of Appeal may order that the appeal be conducted according to the ordinary rules if, in the judge’s opinion, it is warranted by the complexity of the case or by special circumstances.
