These 298 rules apply across Superior Court of Cobb County. Where this judge's own standing orders above address the same topic, the judge's requirement controls.
A completed Verification form must accompany the adult name-change petition.
Publication is required in every adult name-change case.
The final order on a motion for contempt must select only one of the alternatives provided in the form.
The District Attorney must notify the crime victims necessary for the probation-termination case.
The deputy sheriff must record service on the reverse side of the probation warrant.
Immediately after electronically filing protective-order petitions, a TPO Office representative must notify the Clerk of Court or designee of the filing.
A low-income filer may request waiver of the court filing fee by filing the Poverty Affidavit and approval-order forms, but the publication fee remains payable and the case filing cannot be completed until a judge approves the request.
At filing, provide the clerk with the Notice and publication-fee payment by check or money order payable to The Marietta Daily Journal; the clerk forwards both to the publisher.
A fee is required for the certified copy of the final order.
The clerk cannot complete the case filing until a judge signs the order approving the Poverty Affidavit.
An electronic document rejected after Clerk review does not become an official court record and does not receive an electronic stamp.
