Chief Justice Bridget McCormack noted that a uniting attribute of the 2,000 professionals who work for Friend of the Court is to be a friend to the hundreds of thousands of Michigan families who depend on its work. “You are a lifeline for families who are struggling with divorce, parenting time, and other difficult issues. You serve those moms, dads, and children with dignity, respect, compassion, and dedication that is unmatched.”
