Question: - I am going to court without a lawyer. I was told the next hearing is before a DRO. Who is that?
Answer: A DRO (Dispute Resolution Officer) is a senior, experienced family law lawyer who presides over a variety of hearings in family court in Ontario. This person, although a lawyer, does not represent either of the parties. They are appointed by the Court system to help at an early stage of a family law case. Depending on where your case is taking place, a DRO may handle the first Case Conference or preside over the first hearing in a Motion to Change. DROs do not have the power to make court orders but they can refer a matter to a Judge, who can.
