Livingston County MI - Friend of the Court

Contacting the Livingston County Friend of the Court

All of the Friend of the Court Offices (FOCs) in Michigan, pursuant to state mandate, have an interactive voice response system (IVR) that takes the initial phone call coming into the FOC office. When contacting the Friend of the Court Office by phone at (517)546-0230 your call will be answered by the IVR. This IVR is available 24 hours per day, 7 days per week and provides information regarding payments, enforcement, payment coupons, direct deposit, scheduled hearings, office hours, location and much more. The IVR provides step by step instructions for new users and will let experienced users move quickly through the prompts.

To access your specific case information, it is necessary to enter your social security number. The first time you access the IVR you will be asked to establish a personal identification number (PIN) number. You will need to record the PIN number for future calls to access case specific information. If you cannot remember your PIN number you must complete a PIN Change Form with the MiSDU. This form is available on the internet: https://www.misdu.com/secure/GeneralInformation/Forms.aspx

Payments are distributed by the Michigan State Disbursement Unit (MiSDU). You should use the IVR for payment information or use the IVR to transfer to the MiSDU. You can contact the MiSDU through the IVR by selecting option 4 after you’ve selected your language (English or Spanish).

To contact the Livingston County Friend of the Court, you must use the prompts within the IVR. The FOC is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm except for holidays. Phone calls are prevented from transferring to the FOC outside of these hours.

Given the volume of telephone calls and complexity of some issues, operators will answer basic questions. For detailed case related questions, operators will forward your call to the appropriate staff member. Please note, if you leave a message for a staff member of the FOC, your call will be returned within 2 business days. Please do not leave multiple messages unless 2 business days have passed with no response. Thank you for your understanding.
