Court-wide rules

Applies court-wide

Superior Court of Cobb County publishes its filing requirements at the court level rather than per judge, so these 298 rules are what govern this courtroom.

Filing Requirements

All 97
  • Applies to
    Verification form

    A completed Verification form must accompany the adult name-change petition.

  • Applies to
    Publication notice

    Publication is required in every adult name-change case.

  • Applies to
    Final order on motion for contempt

    The final order on a motion for contempt must select only one of the alternatives provided in the form.

Service

All 82

  • Applies to
    Probation warrant

    The deputy sheriff must record service on the reverse side of the probation warrant.

  • Applies to

    Service
    Electronic service

    Immediately after electronically filing protective-order petitions, a TPO Office representative must notify the Clerk of Court or designee of the filing.

Fees

All 38
  • Applies to
    Court filing fee

    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.

  • Applies to
    Publication notice

    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.

  • Applies to
    Certified copy of final order

    A fee is required for the certified copy of the final order.

Filing Timing

All 26
  • 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.

  • c) If a document is rejected by the Clerk, the EFSP will notify the filer via email with the Clerk's reason for rejection. If the filing party wishes to dispute the rejection, they need to do so by filing a motion with the Court.
