Asked 6/20/2010

How do I gain ownership of my old case file which is scheduled to be destroyed?

(Berrien County Michigan) My child support case has just been closed. I recieved a notice from the FOC that they will be destroying the paper case file within one year (per Federal Regulations). Is there any case law to sue for ownership of the file before it is destroyed?

Not that I'm aware of in Michigan but under the Freedom of Information Act, you should be able to get a copy but there will probably be a copying charge.

 
 

Answer 2/2 - Submitted 6/29/2010

The Friend of the Court is going to destroy all the records in my case file, whether I pay to have them reproduced (copied) or not. These documents, in the FOC's opinion, are useless. Since there are some three thousand pages contained within my case file, and the copying surcharge is $1.00 Per Page, I need to know if anyone has ever sued to have ownership of these files, without paying thousands of dollars. And, what process would need to be initiated.
