Which court hears divorce, child custody matters, land disputes, and juvenile matters?

• A. Constitutional County Court
• B. Municipal Court
• C. Justice of the Peace Court
• D. District Court

Answer: (D)

District Court is the general trial court with broad authority to handle civil and family matters, including divorce and child custody, as well as civil disputes like land issues, and it also oversees juvenile matters in many jurisdictions. This wide jurisdiction distinguishes it from courts with narrower roles: Municipal Courts focus on city ordinance violations and certain misdemeanors, Justice of the Peace Courts handle small civil claims and minor offenses, and Constitutional County Courts deal with probate, limited appellate duties, and other specific tasks. Because divorce, child custody, land disputes, and juvenile matters fall under the broad scope of the District Court, it is the appropriate venue.
