Family Court Notice Requirements

Summary

Under South Carolinas Family Court Act Section 422, adequate notice of proceedings requires timely service, inclusion of date, time, and location, and must be signed and bear the courts seal. In New York, child support orders not signed by a judge or entered into County Clerk’s records may be procedurally flawed. The U.S. Supreme Court in Jones v. Flowers ruled that due process requires additional steps if a notice is not received. For child support enforcement under 45 CFR 303.6, necessary documents include the child support order, payment records, enforcement actions, and proof of service.

Are you dealing with a specific family court case?
A New York Family Court issued child support orders that were enforced by the court and child support agency. However, these orders were not signed by a judge until two years later, and they were not entered into the County Clerk’s records.
It seems you may have a strong case due to multiple procedural errors, including lack of proper service, delayed signing by a judge, and failure to enter orders into the County Clerk’s records. These issues could potentially invalidate the orders.

what was the ruling in this case and why: Jones v. Flowers, * U.S. * (*)
In Jones v. Flowers, * U.S. * (*), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that when a state intends to take property from an individual, it must provide notice reasonably calculated to inform the individual of the action. If initial attempts at notice fail, the state must take additional reasonable steps to provide notice. This decision was based on the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which requires that a person must be given notice and an opportunity to be heard before the government can deprive them of property.
