Nothing contained in this Chapter shall deprive other courts of the right to determine the custody of children upon writs of habeas corpus, or to determine the custody or guardianship of children when such custody or guardianship is incidental to the determination of causes pending in such other courts. Such other courts, however, may certify said questions to the Family Division for hearing and determination or recommendation.
