Remote hearings (attending by video)
How to join, as the court explains it:
- The court's Family Law Setting Guide lists each family department with a "Join ZoomGov Meeting" link where the department offers one.
- Check your hearing notice for your department, then use that department's link on the court page.
- The court does not publish detailed family law remote instructions on that page, so call the department's judicial assistant (number on the Setting Guide) if you are unsure whether you may appear remotely.
Tips: test your camera, microphone and internet a day ahead, keep your hearing notice and case number handy, and join early.
