Public service hours for the Civil, Probate, Family Law, and Records Management divisions will be reduced effective Oct. 7, 2024 as the San Mateo County Superior Court continues to adapt to the impacts of state budget cuts.
Public service hours in Room A at the Hall of Justice Courthouse for the Civil, Probate, Family Law, and Records Management divisions will be cut back to 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m., Mon. – Fri. beginning Oct. 7, with exceptions made for ex parte matters only. Filings for ex parte matters will be accepted in Room A after 1 p.m., and no later than 2:15 p.m., Mon. – Fri. Instructions to contact the appropriate clerk’s office staff for ex parte matters will be displayed after the doors to Room A close at 1 p.m. Phone service hours for the Civil, Probate, Family Law, and Records Management divisions will remain 8:30 a.m. – 1 p.m., Mon. – Fri., which became effective Aug. 5.
The nearly $4 million in revenue shortfalls due to state budget cuts, including the approximately $1.45 million in on-going funding reductions allocated to the San Mateo County Superior Court, have necessitated a continued hiring freeze impacting all court divisions. The Court remains committed to serving all court users while operating with a reduced workforce. Updates will be communicated to the public as they become available on the Court’s website: sanmateo.courts.ca.gov.
