The other party and I are in agreement regarding child support, parenting time and custody, and do not wish to use the Friend of the Court. Do we have to utilize the Friend of the Court Service?
No, you may choose to Opt Out of our services. Parties who “opt out” must assume all responsibility for administering and enforcing the court’s orders. Even after a FOC case is opened, parties may choose to “opt out” by filing the proper motion with the county clerk’s office. There are several circumstances that may prevent parties from opting out, refer to the Jackson County Friend of the Court handbook for these situations.
