Rule 10 Judges' Absence from State

This rule no longer exists. It was officially removed by a court order issued on June 20, 2024.

Before it was deleted, this rule dealt with situations where family court judges were out of state. Since it has been taken out of the rules, it no longer has any effect on family court cases. If you're looking at older documents or case law that reference this rule, keep in mind that it doesn't apply anymore.

If you need to know how family court cases are handled when a judge is unavailable, you'll want to check the current rules or ask a legal professional about what applies now.
