The 325th District Court's FAQ on court policies (page last modified June 22, 2015): no formalized docket call — cases on the monthly trial docket are usually called ten days before the Monday of the week requested but may be called as late as 24 hours before; the court expects the legislative possession and child-support guidelines to be followed in waiver and default divorces unless there is a satisfactory explanation for deviating; no predetermined time limits, though the court may hold attorneys to the time announced and may impose limits at the start of a hearing on a pre-trial motion or associate-judge appeal; telephone conferences are encouraged for any non-evidentiary motion if all counsel agree, scheduled through the coordinator; the court's guidelines for possession of children under three are available on request as a starting point; most divorcing parents must attend a class on the effect of divorce on children, other classes ordered case by case, the class waived where unavailable, and for good cause the court has signed decrees without certificates on file.

"1. When do you regularly have docket call? I do not have a formalized docket call. Cases set on the monthly trial docket will be called usually 10 days prior to the Monday of the week requested, but can be called as late as 24 hours before. 2. What is your policy concerning court approval of decrees with variances from standard possession order and/or variances from the statutory guidelines for child support when a case is a waiver or default divorce? The court expects the legislative guidelines to be followed in all cases unless there is a satisfactory explanation for deviating from the guidelines. 3. What time limits or witness limitations do you impose on testimony? There are no predetermined time limits to try cases. The court may limit the attorneys to the time announced. Time limitation may be imposed at the beginning of a hearing on a pre-trial motion or appeal from the Associate Judge. 4. Do you allow telephone conferences for the resolution of motions or any other matters? Is so, how are they arranged and when are they scheduled? Telephone conferences are certainly encouraged on any motion or matter that does not require an evidentiary hearing. All counsel must agree to handle the matter by telephone. Contact the court coordinator … for scheduling. 5. Do you have any guidelines for periods of possession for children under the age of three? Yes, they are available by request and are only a starting point for the court to consider an appropriate schedule for each child. Each case is looked at individually. 6. Will you sign a final decree without certificates of completion (for parenting classes) on file from both parties? Most divorcing parents are required to attend a class on the effect of divorce on their children. Other parenting classes are ordered on a case by case basis depending on the facts. If such classes are not available to one of the divorcing parents, the court will waive the class. For good cause, the court has signed final decrees without certificates of completion on file."
