| The
Department of Family Administration at the Administrative Office of
the Courts is responsible for assisting the various circuit courts
in developing a comprehensive family law system in Maryland. Family
Administration has overseen the creation of the family divisions in
Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Montgomery
County and Prince George's County, and family services programs in
the remaining 19 counties. Family Administration staff work with judges,
masters, court administrators and family support services coordinators
to develop family law policy and to identify and promote best practices
in the handling of domestic and juvenile cases. Program staff have
worked with each circuit court to assist them in developing a broad
spectrum of services to assist Maryland families. The Department of
Family Administration administers funding provided to establish and
enhance Maryland's family law system. In addition to providing funding
to individual jurisdictions, the Department of Family Administration
makes funding available through its Special Project Grants to organizations
who provide legal or other services designed to enhance the experience
of families that come before the Maryland courts.
The
Department of Family Administration includes the Foster Care Court
Improvement Project (FCCIP), a federally-funded initiative to improve
the courts' handling of child abuse and neglect cases. |
