Webinar takes a look at child support program

The Michigan Judicial Institute (MJI), in collaboration with the Friend of the Court Bureau (FOCB), will present “Schoolhouse Rock: Michigan Child Support Program Edition” online Thursday, March 26, from 9 to 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day via Zoom.

The collaboration workgroup is bringing a fun refresher of the branches of government paired with an overview of the structure and operations of the child support program. It will explain where each partner fits into its branch of government, how partners connect to each other through policy and processes, and how child support cases flow from one partner to the next. This will provide insight on where a child support partner fits into the program and how to become a better collaborator.

Speaking at the webinar will be:

• Elizabeth Baldwin, Washtenaw County legal assistant

• Jeana Bartholomeo, Macomb County Friend of the Court recorder secretary

• Tricia Bregg, Office of Child Support (OCS) child support specialist lead worker

• Cy’Kenya Ford, OCS enforcement policy analyst

• Neshele Godfrey, OCS support specialist and OCS Health & Wellness co-lead

• Lisa Harris, State Court Administrative Office/Friend of the Court Bureau management assistant
