Programming: Developing a coordinated approach to handling multiple case families. Families identified to have issues related to abuse will be served through a one judge/one family model. Parties who have been identified to have domestic violence issues will not be referred to mediation through the Court’s existing ADR plan, and the Court will be mindful of safety issues when scheduling hearings. Families with no abuse issues will be served through a mediation-based information sharing model. Learn more about the Clark County Family Court Project
