Friend of the Court FAQ

• What is the Friend of the Court?

  The Friend of the Court is a division of the Circuit Court; there is at least one office for each County. The Friend of the Court is not a division of the Prosecuting Attorney's office. The Friend of the Court Act (1982 PA 294) makes the office responsible for:

  • investigating, reporting and making recommendations to the Circuit Court on custody, parenting time ("visitation") and the amount of child support providing mediation sessions to resolve child custody and parenting time disagreements collecting, recording and sending out all support payments ordered by the Court
  • initiating enforcement of all custody, support and parenting time ("visitation") orders entered by the Court
