The plan contained six phases and we are currently in Phase 2. However, due to the recent increase in COVID rates, the Court will move from Phase 2 to Phase 1. Therefore, effective December 9, 2020, Family Law, Family Support, and Traffic matters will be remote only (with case specific exceptions by individual judges). Small Claims cases will be continued into January and will not be heard at this time. Notices are being sent out regarding these changes.
