How does the court handle the growing number of divorce cases? Will my case get the attention from the court that it deserves?
The Texas Family Code has instituted a program for appointing Associate Judges who hear all family law matters. They are chosen for their experience in family law and hear all matters, unless either party objects to their participation in the case. Associate judges have proven to be able administrators who can draw upon years of personal family law experience. In addition, all parties must agree to mediate their differences if they are ordered by the court to do so.
