Complaints against Friends of the Court
Michigan law provides several ways to express concerns about operations of the Friend of the Court offices. Grievances or comments cannot be used to complain about a Judge's decision.
Formal Grievance Procedure
The formal grievance procedure is for parties dissatisfied with the Friend of the Court's operations or employees. The grievance procedure requires a grievance to first be filed with the county Friend of the Court office. The grievance can be prepared on a grievance form or in a letter that is clearly labeled a grievance to the Friend of the Court office. The Friend of the Court must respond to the grievance within 30 days.
If parties are not satisfied with the office's response, they may file a further grievance form or write a letter that is identified as being a grievance.
See the Trial Court Directory for the proper Chief Judge address or the list of Friend of the Court offices for the address of your local Friend of the Court office.
If you want information about your Friend of the Court case, the quickest and easiest way for you to get this information is to call your Friend of the Court office and use the interactive voice response (IVR) system.
