FRIEND OF THE COURT SCHEDULING BACKLOG
Due to staffing issues, the Wayne County Friend of the Court Scheduling Office is experiencing a backlog. Currently, staff are scheduling hearings for motions received October 26, 2022 forward. We understand the issues this causes and are working on several solutions to remedy the problem.
This message will be updated as we continue to schedule hearings. In the meantime, please do not submit more than one e-praecipe as this causes more of a backlog.
PLEASE NOTE: this backlog is only relative to the scheduling of Referee hearings.

There is NO backlog in filings by the Clerk’s Office.

We appreciate your patience.

Overview

Cases handled include divorce, paternity, personal protection, emancipation of minors, name changes, parental waivers, and infectious disease matters. Each of these case types may include matters concerning custody, support, parenting time, property, and other issues.
