L. R. Prac. Sup. Ct. 18.4
As amended through December 3, 2024
In all domestic relations cases set for trial (other than default hearings), the parties and their attorneys shall participate in a mandatory settlement conference. Such conference shall be scheduled and conducted prior to the time of the setting of the trial. If the case is not settled at the mandatory settlement conference, then upon receipt of the settlement report to be filed by the settlement judge, the Clerk of the Superior Court shall proceed to set the case for trial.
At any time after disclosure statements are exchanged, a party may request a settlement conference in addition to the mandatory settlement conference described above to facilitate early resolution of the case.
