Children in the Courtroom
If you have children, either arrange for childcare or contact the courthouse to learn what the policies of the judge on children in the courtroom are, they tend to vary. In protective order hearings, children are allowed to attend if other arrangements cannot be made. The courthouse policies on children in the courtroom are noted in the Find My Court section of this site.
