PREFERENTIAL SETTING.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
After a hearing, the court may:
(1) grant a motion filed by a party or by the amicus attorney or attorney ad litem for the child for a preferential setting for a trial on the merits; and
(2) give precedence to that hearing over other civil cases if the court finds that the delay created by ordinary scheduling practices will unreasonably affect the best interest of the child.
