FOC OPERATIONS DURING COVID-19 CRISIS
All Friend of the Court staff are accessible from their home workspace to assist you with your domestic relations case. Contact information for all FOC staff members is available by clicking on the "FOC Staff" icon on the FOC home page: www.oakgov.com/foc.
Effective June 29, you may schedule an appointment to make a payment at our banking window or to request an in-person consultation with the FOC. Make your request at this website: Oaklandfoc.setmore.com.
An appointment is not necessary to resolve a bench warrant or to drop off documents. You may also drop off a payment without an appointment if you do not need a receipt. For those who wish to see a banking clerk and obtain a receipt, please schedule an appointment.
For general information please call: 248-858-0424
You are encouraged to continue making your payments directly to the Michigan State Disbursement Unit (MiSDU) online at MiSDU.com, at Pay Near Me or Money Gram locations (Walmart, CVS, 7-Eleven, Kroger). See MiSDU.com for more information.
