Orange County family-law hearings take place at Lamoreaux Justice Center and Central Justice Center. As of October 24, 2026, the family-law departments are at Lamoreaux except C14 and C17 at Central. Before traveling, check the latest notice or order in your case for the assigned department, hearing time, and whether you must appear in person or remotely. A courthouse address alone does not tell you where or how to attend a particular hearing.
