How can I make sure to have a successful submission?
Please ensure the accuracy of the following: filing party information (in the upper left corner of the document), court caption, case captions and case document title. The Consent Decree (or other Stipulated Agreement) must have a signature line where the judicial officer’s signature can be inserted.
How will this visually appear for the Clerk of Court submission?
A Notice of Lodging with a single consolidated PDF will be uploaded and submitted to the Clerk of Court for review and acceptance.
What documents might be included in a Consent Decree for a Dissolution of Marriage/Legal Separation?
Each will require a Consent Decree of Dissolution of Marriage/Legal Separation. When applicable, other documentation might include a Property Settlement Agreement, a Child Support Order, a Child Support Worksheet, a Spousal Maintenance Worksheet, Income Withholding Order and/or a Parenting Plan.
What documents might be included in a QDRO?
The appropriate QDRO form is required. The plan may require the parties to include other attachments.
What documents might be included in a Stipulated Order for Legal Decision-Making and/or Parenting Time?
Each will require a Stipulated Order. Depending on the format/contents of the Stipulated Order, there may also be a separate Parenting Plan, Child Support Order, Child Support Worksheet, and/or Income Withholding Order.
Why is the submission of my Proposed Order not successful?
The submission's total size may be no larger than 100 MB. Documents must be 8.5 x 11. The size can be verified by right-clicking on "Properties."
Will the Clerk of the Court review clerks reject my submission if a single Notice of Lodging contains multiple Proposed Orders?
No. For your convenience and ease of filing, you are making one selection and uploading a single consolidated PDF document. The Court will receive ALL items submitted for ruling. (The judicial officer may deny the submission if multiple proposed orders related to a Consent Decree are not combined/submitted as ONE document.)
