This page will serve as a place to post information that really doesn't fit very neatly onto the other pages of the web site. This is a fairly disparate collection of memoranda, forms, orders and miscellaneous documents. Many of the documents are those received by the judges at various seminars and conferences. I think that they may prove useful you in your evaluation of certain cases (e.g. UIFSA, child support enforcement options, & Soldiers & Sailors Relief Act, etc.). 

As I get orders from the central office that change court dates or judicial assignments, I will also post them here.

Several of the documents (evidence chart, waiver of parental consent, etc.) are simply documents that I want to be able to access from the bench without carrying around all of the paperwork.

I hope you find something of interest on this page.

(all documents posted are in the .pdf format and require that you have the Adobe Acrobat Reader)
