§ 1837 Family Conciliation Court Hearings

• •Family court hearings can happen at different times and places if everyone agrees.
• •If anyone objects to the time or place, the hearing must follow the normal court schedule.
• •This rule is about making court meetings easier for families, but it also makes sure no one is forced into an unfair situation.

A couple is going through a divorce and needs to meet with a judge to discuss custody of their kids.

The judge can decide to have the meeting at a different time or place, like in the judge's office instead of a courtroom. But if one of the parents says they don't like the new time or place, the meeting has to happen at the normal court time and place.
