What is a Family Law Magistrate?
A family law magistrate (FLM) is a judicial officer who has some of the same powers as a judge. An FLM handles domestic relations proceedings involving minor children. FLM’s may conduct case management conferences, preside over some hearings, and issue interim and final child support orders. They may also enter final judgments in uncontested proceedings.
