Judges & Magistrates

To ensure fairness and equal treatment, Judges and Magistrates are not allowed by their ethics rules to communicate with any party outside of a hearing. If you want to tell the judge anything about your case, you should not call or write directly to the judge.  Your question or concern may be addressed on our Questions & Resources page. Below are our Judges and Magistrates currently serving the Butler County Domestic Relations Court.
