What happens at a case management conference in a family matters proceeding?
One primary purpose of a Case Management Conference (CMC) is to identify the issues on which the parents agree and those on which they do not agree, such as residency of the minor children, child support, marital debt, distribution of property, and spousal support. Another purpose is to ensure the children’s needs are being met. The family law magistrate (FLM) may enter an Interim Order if the parties agree on some of the aforementioned issues. In addition, the FLM will identify the steps the parents must take to move the Family Matters case toward resolution.
