  • What a Family Resolution Conference Is
When you file a dissolution case or a paternity case, one of the first documents you’ll receive from the court is a notice of hearing. Typically scheduled several months in advance, this hearing serves as a status conference. It may also be referred to as a family resolution conference or a civil management conference.
.

What Happens at These Conferences?

Family resolution conferences are brief, relatively informal hearings where no substantive legal decisions are made. Instead, their purpose is for the court to oversee the progress of cases. These conferences are crucial for ensuring that cases do not linger unresolved for extended periods.

Why Are They Necessary?

The court uses these conferences to track the status of cases, ensuring they proceed efficiently through the legal system. By scheduling regular check-ins, the court helps to manage caseloads and encourages timely resolutions.
