DID YOU KNOW-Domestic relations referee hearings; judicial review. §1.26.
The domestic relations referee must schedule a hearing within 14 days of receipt of the motion and must notify the parties’ attorneys or unrepresented parties. The notice must clearly state that the matter will be heard by a referee.
Within 21 days after the hearing, the domestic relations referee must make a statement of findings on the record or must submit a written report to the court, including findings and a summary of the testimony. A recommended order must also be submitted and served on the attorneys or unrepresented parties, and proof of service must be filed with the court.
A party has the right to judicial review of any matter that was the subject of a referee hearing and resulted in a statement of findings and a recommended order. The party must file and serve written objection and notice of a hearing on the parties or their attorneys within 21 days after the domestic relations referee’s recommended order was served.
If no such objections are filed, and the court approves, the domestic relations referee’s recommended order takes effect.
A judicial hearing must be held within 21 days after an objection is filed, unless the court extends the time for good cause.

DID YOU KNOW-Procedure for entering divorce judgments. §§1.44–1.53.
No divorce judgment may be entered without a hearing in open court at which proofs are taken. The testimony of at least one party must establish the statutory grounds and jurisdiction.
No proofs or testimony can be taken until 60 days after the complaint is filed, or 6 months if there are minor children. The court may not shorten the 60-day period, but may reduce the 6-month period to as few as 60 days if there is “unusual hardship or compelling necessity.”
The parties may preserve testimony during the waiting period.
