LF32 was led down a garden path..that Family Law Trial Judges supposedly "start from scratch"
Family Law Trials ain't like Criminal Trials ...in Family Law Trials (because of conferences) it's more like....so where are we now....where's the REMAINING disagreements
LF32 asked that interesting question....hopefully the answers above....Family Law Judges know what's going on.. they do not start from scratch
Further to this is the Trial Opening Statement....it's now almost always written...it's each parties entire case..for the Judge to read (gobble up?...NO snore over)
The check sheet Judges use (at TMC's) ...most ticky boxes are not even addressed as Judges toss parties out the door...but for LF32's question I think is box 7

Opening Statements form the Trial Record....which is a simple thing to make.
Do Trial Management Clerks give Trial Records (which include Motion Orders) to Trial Judges while breakfast is served....hmmmm

There's a lot of STUFF a Family Law Trial Judge sifts thru in chambers prior to entering the Courtroom.....and he/she is NOT working from SCRATCH...the exact opposite
