RE: Family - Revised Certification of Diligent Search Packet for Use by Self-

Represented Litigants in Non-Dissolution (FD) Cases DATE: July 26, 2021

This Directive promulgates a revised Certification of Diligent Search packet (CN 11490) for use by self-represented litigants in non-dissolution (FD) cases as approved by the Judicial Council.

The packet was revised to more closely conform to the court rule language on how to attempt to locate a parent or guardian. The prior version of this packet directed litigants to do more in that regard than was required by Rule 5:4-4(c) in two ways. First, the prior packet stated that litigants should send letters of inquiry to "[t]he other party's family members, close friends, or past employers who might know the other party's address." Rule 5:4-4, provides that diligent inquiry efforts should include inquiry "to therelativesandlastknownemployersoftheperson...." TheRuledoesnotrequire inquiry to "close friends," which thus has been eliminated from the revised packet.

Second, the prior packet stated that litigants should send letters of inquiry to "[a]II branches of the U.S. Military." This is also beyond the scope of Rule 5:4-4, which states that inquiry should be made to "the United States Department of Defense." Consequently, we have included in the revised packet a sample Request for Certificate ofMilitaryServiceorNon-Service- General. Litigantsareadvisedthatiftheyhave access to the Internet and know the parent or guardian's birth date or Social Security number, they can obtain information about active military service from the Department of Defense Manpower Data Center (DMDC) at: https://scra.dmdc.osd.mil/scra/#/home. The revised packet explains that if the U.S. Department of Defense does not provide enough information to the litigant to satisfy the court, the court at that point may ask the litiganttosendseparateletterstotheseveralbranchesoftheU.S.Military. Forthe litigants' convenience, sample letters to each branch are included in the packet.

July 26, 2021 Page 2 of 2

Finally, litigants reported that they were having difficulty obtaining information from the United States Postal Service and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission using the sample letters to those agencies contained in the prior version of the packet. After consultation with the United States Postal Service and the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, revised sample letters are included in the packet for submission to each of those agencies.

Questions regarding this Directive may be directed to the AOC's Family Practice Division at 609-815-2900, ext. 55350.

Certification of Diligent Search
Superior Court of New Jersey - Chancery Division - Family Part

Who Should Use This Packet? You can use this packet ifyour case type starts with the letters FD.

A Non-Dissolution (FD) case is a court case about family matters such as custody, parenting time, child support, spousal support for married people that are separated, and requests from relatives such as grandparents, aunts, or uncles filing in court about the custody and care of minor children. A diligent search is used for a Non-Dissolution (FD) case when the person filing in court does not have an address for the person they are filing against in the case. That parent or legal guardian should receive a notice to appear in court.

This packet includes information on attempting to find the location of the parent or legal guardian named in your case, along with sample letters and forms that can be used to ask for location information. You must send a letter or complete the identified forms for all locations listed on the next page. Ifyou omit any location, you must explain to the court the reason for excluding that particular place.

The court must determine that you have made a serious effort to obtain information about the location of the parent or guardian named in your case, and that you have followed up on any information that you have received about their whereabouts. The Certification of Diligent Search form is returned to the Court along with copies of all letters or forms you have sent and any responses you have received.
