PITTSBURG -- Family law cases involving a petitioner who lives in East Contra Costa County will be filed and heard at the new Pittsburg courthouse beginning July 5, the Contra Costa County Superior Court announced Monday.
It will be the first time that the Richard E. Arnason Justice Center offers family law services since the courthouse opened in November at 1000 Civic Center Drive.
From July 5 onward, all new family laws cases with an East County petitioner resident will be automatically assigned to Judge Jeffery Huffaker at the Pittsburg court, according to a court spokeswoman.
Existing such family law cases will be transferred to Huffaker at the next hearing. The files for any case assigned to the Pittsburg court will be kept there.
