(1) Standards adopted by the Board for Judicial Administration recommend that 90 percent of all domestic relations cases should be adjudicated within 10 months of the date of filing of the information, 98 percent within 14 months of filing, and 100 percent within 18 months. The figures under this heading reflect the actual percentages of these cases resolved within 10, 14 and 18 months.
(2) UIFSA filings are included.
(3) Lower numbers suggest proportionately smaller backlogs of pending cases.
(4) Time-in-process figures do not include the time cases are placed in suspended status. A case is said to be in suspended status if it is out on warrant, in mediation, stayed, in arbitration, on appeal, on post-filing diversion, or has been continued for prosecution or placed on deferred prosecution.
(5) Beginning 01/01/2011, petitions for distribution of property from committed, marital-like relationships are filed in the domestic relations case type under the "Committed Intimate Relationship" cause of action. Previously, these cases were filed as civil "Meretricious Relationship" cases. Any associated custody and parentage matters continue to be filed as a separate case.
