Family Court Navigator Pilot Program (Item 70)

Judge Bristol joined colleagues in thanking the commission and supporting program expansion.

The court administrator detailed the pilot's first-year results — 151 families, 548 services — and asked for continued funding plus two more staff to shrink a growing custody-investigation backlog.

The chief judge thanked the commission for funding the program and stressed its importance to families.

The family division judge described a same-day success story where a family reached a parenting plan through program services, reducing court interventions.
