The Family Support Magistrate Division of Superior Court was established in 1986 by a federal
mandate on all states. Family Support Magistrates (FSMs) are not judges, but perform some judicial functions,
hearing cases involving child support, spousal support and paternity. FSMs hear cases between unmarried parties to
establish paternity and child support orders, about 18% of which involve families on state financial assistance.
FSMs also hear motions to modify and enforce existing child support orders, including those in post-judgment
dissolution of marriage cases in which child support is paid through the state.
