I’ve been here about a dozen times and they’re either closed due to covid or long lines. Employees here are miserable and understaffed. I’ve had better experiences at the DMV, go figure. Shut this place down and put the budget somewhere useful.

Hard working people taking on people's lives! Soo many people so be patient and parpaired. Arrive early, coffee shop, fill out the paper you need before being seen. Security check, temp ✔️see the Website if you can or have access. Construction near by 😷😷😷😷😷😞💖 for jury duty arrive early and make sure it's not cancelled 8am time. The waiting got to be a better way. Great job security. 2.5!

Not very helpful and on 3rd floor(filing office)officer)walks away because you can’t understand what he is saying. Totally rude!!! He fails to inform people of what to do and just looks on like we are supposed to know!!! Thank God for my patience!!! Everywhere else except clerks office they good, working look up at you and pretend you not there lol

Don't call or email, you'll be ignored. This is the court system, you need to take a day off and show up. Once you're there, it's a 2+ hour wait because there are only one or two people working and 50+ people waiting. Do the math. I showed up at 8:30am and waited two hours to get to the desk. Bring a computer or book. No WiFi in the building. Once inside, the staff is very helpful. Be prepared! Don't show up and think that they're going to fill it out for you. They can only give you guidance. Do your research on their website. They have a checklist. I had to come twice as the first time, the clerk helped me correct some sections. Second time was good. Be patient and you'll get through.

You need to file a petition for legal change of name. You also need to publish it in the. News paper. You might try calling Boston Legal Aid, since you probably will need to file a motion to have. The court ppay for that, as it cost hundreds of $ to publish.

I need to know that if your child turns 18 is child support over?

Patricia Briscoe | Sep 6, 2019
M. Prescott | Sep 5, 2020

Not necessarily. Check with the court regarding your chikd support order and when your obligation ends. Could be 18 or up to 23 if the child is in school and a dependant. You shouldn't just stop child support. You should file a motion to discontinue. Get it in writing and approved by the court. Just a suggestion.
