I was reading a court case where there was a sentence that incorporated P.J. Fam & honorable terms. What does honorable & P.J. Fam mean in the sentence below. The sentence reads as follows:

"He appeals the Order of the Honorable Michael K. Diamond, P.J. Fam. which orders him to continue supporting the child."

Any sort of help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

As noted by previous answers, "Honorable" is a traditional title applied to many elected officials including judges.

I am guessing as to the P.J. Fam., but based on the context it should be something like Presiding Judge Family (either Court or Division)

Those are his titles. "honorable" denotes a judge. I don't know what PJ Fam means, but it has something to do with where he works or other distinctions he has earned.

Well, 'Honorable' is what they use to refer to the judge. Like, "the honorable judge gabbii'. It's just polite.
