Reviewer note: Composed 2026-10-15 (California T4 Madera build 2026-10-15) from BenchPath custody ca/t4/ca-madera/pages/divisions__family-law-court.html (the page as fetched 2026-10-15; 630747 bytes, sha256 1654505e4e1c47526d18648d33d6b5ca0dc776031595646fc4872df61ac982c4) with the Orange HTML composer (compose-site.py, the Judicial Council theme's area): the article's content sections (section.jcc-section), news bodies (div.jcc-news-full) and title banners (div.jcc-hero; the first banner's heading, the page title, is chrome) - the site header, menus, breadcrumb and footer lie outside them; each block starts a line and each table cell is set on its own line; chrome removed: 1 item (the page title, “Family Law Court”); proof (the multiset of non-space characters equals the containers' text less chrome and scripts) passes. Review note: The page's deadline for ex parte documents, “no later than 10:00 a.m. the previous workday”, differs from Local Rule 2.1.4, which requires temporary orders in civil, family law, probate, and small claims cases “no later than 11:00 a.m. the day immediately preceding the day of the hearing”.
