Note on Table Creation: The information in the tables comes from databases that are always being updated. As a result, the tables only show the information that was in the databases on the day they were created. Information in the databases can change because cases that were disposed at the time the table was created were later reopened, or because of the late entry of data. Because of this, all of the tables are created on the 5th business day after the close of the fiscal year.

  • Added case: A case that is entered into one of the Judicial Branch’s automated systems.  
  • Claimed case: A case in which a party or the party’s attorney (in a civil or family case) enters a claim that a case be placed onto a trial list.
  • Disposed case: A case in which a decision has been made. 
  • Fiscal year: July 1st through June 30th.  
  • Pending case: A case in which a decision has not been made.
Family Case Charts Glossary
  • Trial lists are subsets of the total docket. Not all cases are claimed to the trial list. All family dissolution (divorce) cases must be claimed to one of three trial lists prior to having a dissolution granted:
  • Contested Trial List: The case has outstanding issues with respect to custody and/or visitation and financial arrangements.
  • Limited Contested Trial List: The case has outstanding issues with respect to financial arrangements.
  • Uncontested Trial List: The case has no outstanding issues other than the marriage being dissolved.
