Cecil Cnty. Cir. Ct. Family DCM Plan 2.2
Setting of Scheduling Conference
Once a case is at issue, i.e., once the first responsive pleading has been filed or the response time has
run with no response having been filed, the case is forwarded to the domestic relations magistrate. The
magistrate will review and forward to the Assignment Office if the case is ripe for scheduling, and the
Assignment Office will generally schedule contested cases for a domestic scheduling conference
within 45 days of when the case is at issue. An expedited status/scheduling conference may be
scheduled sooner than 30 days.
The magistrate may issue a deficiency order with 30 days to make corrections, and recommend
dismissal for non-compliance with said deadline. If necessary pleadings are not filed within 30 days,
the case shall be dismissed.
