In this jurisdiction context, which court would hear a divorce case?

• A. Municipal Court
• B. District Court
• C. Court of Appeals
• D. Justice Court

Answer: (B)

Divorce cases are civil matters that require a court with general civil and family-law jurisdiction to hear petitions, conduct hearings, and issue final orders on issues like property division, alimony, and child custody. A District Court fits that role, as it handles these kinds of family-law matters. The other courts are limited in scope or serve only to review decisions: Municipal Court and Justice Court typically handle narrower matters such as misdemeanors or small claims, while the Court of Appeals is an appellate body that reviews decisions from trial courts rather than starting a divorce case.
