Please be aware that you cannot contact the Commissioner “to talk about your case”. This is called ex parte communication, which means a communication conducted for the benefit of only one party. Ex parte communication is prohibited by law. You cannot contact the Commissioner or the Family Court staff to ask a question about the merits of your case or to complain about the other party; this is also ex parte communication.

• If you need to contact the Racine County Family Court Commissioner’s Office about a matter, please contact the Family Court.
• Any information sent to the Family Court Commissioner must be copied to the other party in the case.
• Staff may not give you legal advice.
