CUSTODY and DIVORCE: Judges assigned to hear Custody and Divorce cases in Family Court for 2024 will be Judge Lash, Judge Gavin, Judge Scheidt and Judge Bodor.  In addition, Judge Boyd will continue to hear some Custody cases associated with her Juvenile Dependency matters.  All of Judge Koestel’s pending cases are being reassigned to Judge Bodor and some of Judge Lash and Judge Boyd’s cases are being reassigned to Judge Scheidt. Please check your pending cases in the Prothonotary Case Management System to verify whether the Judge assignments stayed the same or changed.

FAMILY EMERGENCY MOTIONS, PFAs and SUPPORT ENFORCEMENT: The usual rotation for Family Emergency Motions, PFAs and Support Enforcement is: Monday – Judge Bodor; Tuesday – Judge Scheidt; Wednesday – Senior Judge Bucci; Thursday – Judge Boyd; and Friday – a rotation with Judge Bodor the 1^st Friday; Judge Scheidt the 2^nd Friday; Judge Gavin the 3^rd Friday; Judge Boyd the 4^th Friday; and Judge Boyd when there is a 5^th Friday.  The Friday Judge will be handling Emergency Family Motions, walk-in PFAs and Support Enforcement, so we don’t plan to schedule Final PFAs for Fridays.  Senior Judge Ullman may also be filling in as needed.

ICC’s: Judge Scheidt will hear ICC cases on Thursdays.
