Dissolution (FM) Case Management Order {10484}

DISSOLUTION (FM) CASE MANAGEMENT ORDER. This form is used in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Chancery Division – Family Part, during divorce or dissolution proceedings. It serves as an official court order to organize and schedule the progress of a family case, particularly one involving the termination of a marriage or civil union. The form records key case information such as the parties involved, representation status, and the discovery track assignment (Expedited, Standard, Priority, or Complex), depending on the nature and complexity of the issues involved—especially custody disputes. It outlines any disputes related to custody, parenting time, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, legal fees, insurance, or other contested matters. It sets deadlines for each party to complete required pre-trial tasks like filing Case Information Statements, submitting and answering interrogatories, producing documents, and conducting depositions. It also schedules appraisals of assets such as real estate, personal property, businesses, or pensions, and identifies whether these appraisals will be conducted by joint, party-retained, or court-appointed experts. The form establishes a timeline for important court events, including Early Settlement Panel appearances, subsequent case management conferences, and the trial date if necessary. It designates a judge to handle all motions and trial matters and ensures that attorneys in Priority or Complex Track cases are fully authorized to act. The order must be signed by the judge and is typically acknowledged by both parties’ attorneys, marking their consent to the order’s terms and timelines. www.FormsWorkflow.com
