The court commissioner in your case will act as a temporary judge unless, before the hearing, you or any other party object to the commissioner acting as a temporary judge. The court commissioner may still hear your case to make findings and recommendations to a judge. However, if you object to the commissioner acting as a temporary judge, an order will not be made until a judge reviews your case.
