Please help. I am just very worried. Our case is very simple but the ex-to-be is making it very complicated. I want to know form people that have had such experience if they had the same judge for both first appointment and the FDR? It would be easier as the judge on the first appointment already asked questions and may know the case better.
Thank you for your help.

Would the FDR judge be the same as the one on the first appointment?

In an ideal world they like the same Judge to deal with all the hearings prior to the Final Heating, but if it goes to a Final Hearing (most cases settle before that stage) you will have a different Judge. However sometimes due to heavy lists etc you may have different Judges hearing the case - but if you do have a Final Hearing the Judge will not have heard your case before.
