The Champaign County Family Court encompasses three different divisions of law: Domestic Relations, Juvenile, and Probate. All three case types are filed, heard, and decided here.

When a case is initiated, one of the two Judges is assigned on a random basis.

The philosophy of the Family Court is “one Judge, one family”. As such, once a Judge has been assigned at the case initiation phase, that same Judge will remain as the assigned Judge for all future matters involving the family.
