October CASA Meeting

Written by Charles A. Ludwig
Tuesday, 27 September 2011 10:54
On October 26 at noon we will have our first in a very long time CASA meeting. I am sorry that it has taken so long to have another meeting. A question came up to me about undrstanding the Friend of the Court. I have coming to the meeting the Manager of the Friend of the Court and Deputy Court Administrator to give a presentation about the role of the Friend of the Court. The Friend of the court handles divorce matters where there are questions about child support and child custody. It is relevant to our role as their are many cases where divorce is relevant in the case, where child support could be part of the need for income, where custody and visitation can be addressed. If there are case related questions or questions on how FOC functions , please send them to me and I will forward them on to the presenters. Someone of you may have your own experiences with FOC that, let's say, don't speak favorably about their role. we need to keep those ot of our conversation on the 26th. I will need an RSVP for a lunch count. Chuck Add new comment
