‘The ABCs of Abatement’ provided online, March 28

The Michigan Judicial Institute (MJI) and Friend of the Court Bureau (FOCB) will present the “The ABCs of Abatement” online Thursday, March 28, from 9 to 10 a.m. via Zoom.

Michigan law changed several years ago to allow for administrative abatement of support when the payer is incarcerated. Many things have changed since then with processes, system programming, and reports.

This session will go back to the basics and focus on the who, what, where, when, and why, including: the requirements to qualify for administrative abatement; what actions are required upon the payer’s release; and case considerations impacting how to work with parents in these situations.

Speaking at the webinar wil be management analysts Paul Gehm and Amy Lindholm, Friend of the Court Bureau, State Court Administrative Office, Michigan Supreme Court.
