On Nov. 19, Texas Lawyer hosted “Best Practices as Seen From the Bench: Family Law.” Panelists included Dallas County Judges Dennise Garcia, Tena Callahan and Mary Brown. This is Part II of that discussion. Part I ran in our Dec. 22 issue. The following has been edited for clarity, length and style.

If you get an enforcement action on somebody actually compelling arbitration, are there concerns if what that they’re trying to do involves the best interest of a child? Are you going to say, “Look, I’m not going to enforce this, because I want to make sure your kid is protected?”
