Rule 27. Family and Domestic Cases
A. Applications for either temporary restraining orders, emergency ex parte orders, or writs should be made to the special judge assigned to hear and decide such matters rather than to the assigned judge. If the application is granted, a subsequent show cause hearing will be scheduled before the assigned judge.
B. All judges may hear uncontested matters as their dockets permit.
C. Divorce, separate maintenance, or annulment in a case not involving minor children may be granted when the defendant is in default or has waived the time in which to plead. Such waiver must have been signed, acknowledged and filed at least one day after the filing of the petition. No divorce, separate maintenance or annulment case shall be heard unless the petition shall have been on file at least ten (10) days. Cases may be heard before ten (10) days for good cause shown.
D. In an action for dissolution, a final order shall not be entered in cases involving minor children until the case has been on file ninety (90) days or more, which may be waived by the Court for good cause shown, and without objection by either party.
