Notice – Family: (1) Technical Amendments to Dissolution (FM) Case Management Order (Rules Appendix X); (2) Request for Comments on Proposed Removal of Order as a Rules Appendix

Part 1: Technical Amendments to FM Case Management Order (CN 10484)

This notice promulgates technical amendments to the Dissolution (FM) Case Management Order (CMO) form (CN 10484), included in the Rules of Court as Appendix X, to be effective September 1, 2024. As shown in the attachment, these amendments align the CMO with applicable Rules of Court regarding discovery and support the collection of attorney and litigant email address information.

Questions concerning these technical amendments should be directed to the 

AOC Family Practice Division at 609-815-2900 ext. 55350  

Part 2: Proposal to Remove FM Case Management Order as a Rules Appendix

The Supreme Court invites written comments on the recommendation to remove the FM Case Management Order, now included in the Rules of Court as Appendix X, as a Rules Appendix (as has been done with certain other Family forms over the past few rules cycles). Removing this form from the Court Rules would simplify the process for future amendments.

Please send any comments on the proposal in writing by Friday, July 12, 2024 to:

Acting Administrative Director Glenn A. Grant
Attn: Dissolution CMO – Removal as a Rules Appendix

Comments and recommendations may also be submitted by e-mail to the following address: Comments.Mailbox@njcourts.gov .

The Supreme Court will not consider comments submitted anonymously. Thus, those submitting comments by mail should include their name and address, and those submitting comments by email should include their name and e-mail address. Comments are subject to disclosure upon receipt.
