What is Differentiated Case Management?
Differentiated Case Management (DCM) is a comprehensive case processing plan designed to facilitate timely and appropriate resolution of cases. Every family case filed in the court is assigned a DCM track number. Tracks help the court categorize cases into different complexity levels. By doing this, the court can ensure that it is providing appropriate administrative support, expert services to explore pending issues and a level of judicial involvement that allows all cases to be heard in an organized, efficient and timely manner.
