Addresses - Why To Keep Them Updated at the FOC

If you have a Friend of the Court case or a family court case, it is incredibly important to keep your address updated with your Friend of the Court office.

Not having addresses updated can lead to some bad results, including money not being processed, important legal documents going to the wrong address, or not being notified about something important regarding your court case.

Check out the video as we discuss some of the reasons why you want to keep your address updated at the FOC.

For forms to keep your address updated at the Friend of the Court, go to either:

OR

Arrears Management Options

Support arrears, or back child support, can exist for a lot of different reasons. Sometimes it is because an order was in place that the parties didn't want. Sometimes it happens because the parent's changed custody but didn't change their support order. Sometimes it happens because someone lost their job but never got their support order changed.

Whatever the reason, if there are child support arrears that seem too large to manage, often there are options. If the payee of support doesn't want the support, they can waive the balances owed to them. If the support is owed to the State and the payer has no ability to pay it back, sometimes those balances can be waived too.

Check out the video to find out more about arrears management options.

It's National Good Neighbor Day - It officially became a holiday in 1978, when President Jimmy Carter signed a proclamation to establish the holiday. A resolution was passed by the Senate, as it was recognized that there was little meaningful communication among people and there was a need to bring them together for them to interact with one another.
