Wayne County Family Court Goes Bass Ackwards

Let's set the stage for the latest Wayne County follies.

It's Covid so you close down in person filings.

You tell everyone instead to file by email.

Since it's Wayne County, a backlog is inevitable.

So, how do you handle the backlog? Do you increase service efforts? Increase efficiency? Workout a case-flow strategy? Perhaps use the Civil Circuit Court's e-filing system that works rather well for handling non-family court filings?

Well, unlike what anyone might do by doing any of these reasonable solutions the Family Court decides to do none of those things and instead decides to stop accepting emailed filings and demand everyone file in person again.

The Detroit Free Press: Wayne County Family Court to ditch email filing system in effort to clear backlog

It's a Wayne County solution all right: Clear the backlog not by working harder or more efficiently, but by making it harder for people to access the Court.

Any updates on the Show Cause hearing from If You want to play with Sharks pt 4? Given how angry the judge was I expect there were fireworks...
