PROPOSED ORDERS Do not submit proposed orders related to a hearing prior to that hearing taking place.
Most proposed orders with required supporting documents should be submitted under this tab. The case manager will review your submission for accuracy and legal sufficiency, and either reject your submission if it fails review or forward it to the judge for signature. If the matter has been heard by the court, include the words “post hearing” in the title of your proposed order. That signals to the case manager that the court has considered and ruled upon any issues during the hearing. Generally, agreed orders are those resulting from adverse parties coming to a concurrence about a particular issue. “Agreed” does not mean that all parties on one side of an issue have concurred. An example would be when all beneficiaries agree to a particular matter. Even when that occurs, your proposed order must be submitted under the proposed order tab for case manager review. Only submit agreed orders meeting this definition under the Agreed Order tab. Your petitions and supporting documents must be filed and appear on the docket prior to submitting any proposed orders. You filing something with the clerk does not make the court aware of its existence. You must either set the matter for hearing if need be, or submit your petitions, supporting documents and proposed orders via courtMap.
