Somerset County creates Domestic Relations Department
The Somerset County Court seeks to form an integrated Domestic Relations Department within the court, eliminating the Clerk of Courts office and shifting duties from the District Attorney. Judge Cof froth notes the plan may require one probation officer. Evander Holden offered as director. County commissioners approved using the old County Superintendent of Schools quarters in the Courthouse basement, with improvements estimated at 12766 dollars and plans to be drawn by county architect Richard Ross. The move aims to handle rising domestic relations caseload from 144 in 1971 to 157 in 1972 while deferring some budget items to 1974.
