Lawmakers seek unified path for family court appeals
Senate and House leaders clash over whether new family court rulings go to circuit courts or directly to the state Supreme Court. House Speaker Kiss aims for agreement by summer to pass a bill by September 1, a deadline tied to transferring certain domestic violence cases from magistrates to West Virginia family lawmasters.
