The Friend of the Court was establis hed approximately 100 years ago, originally limited to enforcing child support orders. In the 1970’s the federal government became involved and began funding the program as a way to recoup public assistance given to families. Currently the Friend of the Court is exploring the possibility of making changes in unfunded mandates with Michigan legislators. Performance of the Friend of the Court is measured against goals set in five categories by the state and federal government; support order percent, paternity percent, current support, arrears percentage and cost effectiveness. Oakland County collects $13 for every $1 cost to the government. A copy of the power point presentation was distrib uted to committee members.
