Editor’s note: On March 5, the Texas Lawyer editorial department hosted a roundtable discussion in Fort Worth, "Domestic Relations: How to Make Your Case in Family Court." Panelists included 231st District Judge Randy Catterton, 233rd District Judge William Harris, 324th District Judge Jerome Hennigan and 360th District Judge Michael Sinha. This is part two of the discussion. Part one ran in the April 22 edition of Texas Lawyer. The second part of the judges’ discussion covered domicile restrictions, pro se litigants and divorce forms, interviews of children, sealing documents and more. It has been edited for length and style.

John Council, senior reporter, Texas Lawyer, Dallas: . . . Judge Sinha, let’s talk about domicile restrictions. Do you ever weigh in on those when they seem to be too restrictive? And what happens if somebody comes to you later after the divorce decree is entered and wants to change domicile restriction?
