A. The Christian Family Court generally hears cases five (5) days a week, except for holidays and trainings. For all Christian Family Court actions except those set forth in CFRP 201(B), motions shall be set through the Christian Family Court's Office at (270) 889-6038, or by coming to the Christian Family Court, 100 Justice Way, 2^nd Floor, Hopkinsville, Kentucky 42240. All motions, except for those set forth in CFRP 201(B) are assigned a special hearing time by the Court. Times are scheduled in blocks of fifteen (15) minutes. The Court reserves the right to lengthen or shorten any requested block of time depending on the nature of the hearing. The parties are expected to adhere to the time allocated. The Court in its discretion may allocate time equally between the parties and may terminate any hearing that exceeds its scheduled allotted time and issue a ruling based on the pleadings and the evidence heard at the hearing.

B. Motions for Paternity; Child Support when the Child Support Division of the Christian County Attorney's Office is involved; Dependency, Neglect and Abuse; and Domestic Violence actions shall be noticed for the beginning of the appropriate and regularly scheduled docket.

C. Emergency Dependency, Neglect and Abuse motions may be made on any day of the week, with appropriate notice as required by statute or the FCRPP upon receiving a specific time from the Christian Family Court staff. Non-emergency Dependency, Neglect and Abuse motions shall be noticed for the beginning of the appropriate and regularly scheduled docket.

D. Arraignment on paternity/child support bench warrants served shall be heard on the regularly scheduled child support/paternity docket or if none, on an emergency docket.

E. For good cause shown, a motion may be heard by telephonic conference at the discretion of the Judge. Dates and times for the telephonic conference may be obtained through the Christian Family Court staff. In addition, the Court may, at the discretion of the Judge, allow parties to appear for hearings telephonically. Due to the fact that telephonic matters require the Court to use a phone line which the public needs to contact the Court on other matters and the inconvenience of telephonic matters, generally, except for extremely good cause, the Court does not allow any party to have a telephonic hearing or appear telephonically if the hearing is scheduled for a period of time over two (2) hours in length.
