The county's posted policies for the two Title IV-D courts in the Family Law Center (page last modified Aug. 31, 2023) — IV-D Court One (Judge Casey Conine) and IV-D Court Two (Judge Cherami J. Blaney Jenkins): check in at the correct first-floor waiting room; expect to wait, possibly all day; dress appropriately (no shorts, tank tops or revealing clothing, or be sent to change); do not bring children — only the judge will reset a case with instructions when a child must be present; the Office of the Attorney General and Domestic Relations Office attorneys do not represent the parties, who may ask for time to hire counsel or request a hearing before the judge; the family law courts, including the IV-D courts, close when Fort Worth ISD closes for inclement weather; never contact a judge directly about a pending or potential case.
