Understanding these figures
What family cases cover
Family cases are those recorded in the registers used for family-law matters, mostly concerning children and family relationships. Very few decisions of this family appear in the collection.
Which courts publish them
In 2025, decisions in family cases were published by 3 district courts and 1 high court. By tier: 5 from district courts and 1 from high courts.
What counts as a decision
Each published decision counts as one, whatever its form: a judgment, a ruling on an appeal or an order. One case can produce several decisions, in the same court or in successive ones. The figures count the decisions published in the open-data collection of the Czech courts; they do not count cases, and they are not every decision issued.
Yearly volumes
Between 2020 and 2025 the yearly number of decisions in family cases ranges from 0 in 2020 to 6 in 2025. All decisions together range from 15,224 to 175,346 over the same years, so a change from one year to the next says little about the number of cases in the courts.
Reading the figures with care
The counts of this family are small (6 in 2025), so only counts are given and a change of a few decisions moves the yearly series. The collection holds no outcome for these decisions, so no dismissal rate or success rate is shown. No statistic can predict the outcome of a particular case.
