Motion To Opt Out Of Friend Of The Court Services

MOTION TO OPT OUT OF FRIEND OF THE COURT SERVICES. This form is used in the State of Michigan’s Sixth Judicial Circuit Court in Oakland County by parties in a family law case who jointly request to discontinue involvement with the Friend of the Court (FOC). The FOC provides enforcement, investigation, and accounting services in matters involving custody, parenting time, and support. By submitting this motion, the parties affirm that there is no history of domestic violence or power imbalance, no current or recent public assistance, and no unresolved support or parenting violations. They also agree to take responsibility for managing their case independently, including child support payments and dispute resolution through private mediation or arbitration, if necessary. The motion outlines what services will no longer be available to the parties and confirms their understanding of future obligations should the case be reopened with FOC. Once approved by the court, the case is exempt from FOC oversight, and support payments may be made directly or through the State Disbursement Unit, depending on the selected option. The form includes a notice of hearing and a certificate of mailing. www.FormsWorkflow.com
