Unified Family Court Case Management

Due to resource limitations, Unified Family Court Case Management is no longer available through Family Court Operations.  However, if your case has multiple King County cause numbers involving the same parties or if your action has a pattern of multiple motions on the family law calendar you may wish to bring a motion for the assigned judge to enter an order to retain on the case(s) so that one judicial officer is handling all matters.  If you have additional questions regarding this you can contact the Family Court Services Program Manager at 206-296-9400.
