All cases are set for court before the Support Enforcement Hearing Officer, unless he has specifically excluded himself from hearing the case. All hearings are assigned a short period of time so it is extremely important that all parties arrive at, or preferably before, their assigned hearing time. Case managers will be available outside the courtroom to assist you and attempt any settlement negotiations.
Proper dress is required.
No shorts, tanks tops or bathing suits are permitted. No children are permitted. Your attendance at court hearings is critically important. If allegations are made by the other party, your testimony will be needed to either concur with or dispute this testimony. Failure to attend could result in a binding agreement or court order that you do not necessarily desire.
