The Rules and Forms Committee of the Superior Court of California, County of Orange, has proposed revisions to the Local Rules of Court. The Court invites your comments pursuant to rule 10.613 of the California Rules of Court, for the following changes to the local rules: 

Repeal of Local Rule 700.6 – Family Law Filings.  The proposed repeal is being made because the local rule has become obsolete with the implementation of Family Law electronic filing (e-filing). 

Revised Local Rule 702(D) – Qualified Domestic Relations Order.  The proposed revisions establish a standard protocol for the submission of a qualified domestic relations order or other community property retirement plan benefit order to the court.

Attached please find copies of the proposed repealed and revised rules, which are also posted on the Superior Court’s website at Invitation to Comment. A comment form is attached to download and submit comments by paper format, it is also available online to submit comments electronically. All comments concerning a proposed rule must be submitted no later than 12:00 p.m. on Wednesday, April 11, 2018.
