LOCAL RULES OF THE
COURT OF COMMON PLEAS
DOMESTIC RELATIONS DIVISION
MEDINA COUNTY, OHIOThe attached documents are changes to the Local Rules and forms of the Court of Common Pleas, Domestic Relations Division, Medina County, Ohio.

These changes will be filed with the Supreme Court and the miscellaneous docket of the Court of Common Pleas on or about June 1, 2011. It is anticipated these changes shall be fully implemented in practice by July 1, 2011.

These changes are offered for your comment until June 1, 2011.

Please realize that these changes are, for the most part, memorializing in writing the practice of the Court and ensuring compliance with new Supreme Court privacy rules that have come into existence since the Court’s last promulgation of Local Rules. The truly substantive changes are to local forms regarding motions and affidavits for temporary orders and the notice of filing form (which is now a notice of submission). The other changes incorporate definitions and policies about what information is public and should be filed with the Clerk and what information is considered not fully public and should be submitted to the Court for consideration.

Please respond to the electronic publication of this information, or email the Court at medinadomesticrelations@medinaco.org or write to the Medina County Domestic Relations Court, 99 Public Square, Medina, OH 44256, ATTN: New Rules.
