FORM 4F INSTRUCTIONS – JUDGMENT IN A FAMILY COURT CASE

(Instructions for Information Only – Not to be filed with Form 4F)

Form 4F – Judgment in a Family Court Case has been modified to add order information and enrollment instructions for the Clerk of Court. The purpose of Form 4 has not changed with the exception that judgment information is provided when applicable.

Please note that Form 4F must be attached to all orders that include information to enroll in the judgment index. The clerk will not be responsible for reading the order to determine the enrollment information.

The attorney or prevailing party will prepare and attach Form 4F when submitting an order that includes enrollment information for the judgment index. The judge will review and sign Form 4F when he or she signs an order that includes enrollment information for the judgment index.

Form 4F is not required to be submitted to the court with orders that do not include information to enroll in the judgment index. If the clerk receives such an order without a Form 4F attached, the clerk should enter and process the order pursuant to Rule 58 and Rule 77(d), SC Rules of Civil Procedure. (i.e. the clerk should serve notice of entry of the judgment by mail or provide the attorneys with copies of the signed order by other means.)

The “Information for the Judgment Index/Transcript of Judgment” section should be completed when the judgment affects title to real or personal property or if any amount should be enrolled. Items traditionally awarded in family court cases such as the payment of attorney’s fees, Guardian ad Litem fees or court costs should not be entered in this section unless the judge orders those amounts be reduced to judgment. In the “Judgment in Favor of” column, enter the name of the party to whom the judgment is awarded. In the “Judgment Against” column, enter the name of the person to whom the judgment is against. The judgment amount to be enrolled should be noted in the “Judgment Amount” column. As necessary, describe any property referenced in the order if it is to be enrolled in the judgment index.

The "Order Information" section of Form 4F may be used by the submitting party to indicate information about the order that requires special processing.

If Form 4F is submitted by an attorney or self-represented litigant with an order and there is no judgment information to enroll, indicate “N/A” in one of the boxes in this section of the form.

To enter information to accommodate multiple parties, additional Form 4Fs may be used as necessary. Additional space may be inserted on the form as necessary.

Unless otherwise instructed by the judge, attorneys for DSS, DJJ or the solicitor's office are not required to attach Form 4F to orders submitted to the court, unless the order contains information to be enrolled to the judgment index.
