§ 914 No effect on marital status

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

When someone brings a family court case under this part of the law, the judge cannot make decisions about whether the person is married or not. The court also cannot cancel or remove any duties that come with being married.

This means family court has limits on what it can do. If you're looking for a divorce, an annulment, or a legal separation, you need to go through a different court process. Family court can handle things like support payments or other family matters, but it stays out of decisions about your marriage itself.

In short, this rule keeps family court in its own lane. It can address certain problems between spouses, but it leaves questions about the marriage itself, like ending it or changing its legal status, to other courts.
