Maine: Child Support Enforcement

A view of child support enforcement from the vantage point of the Case Review Unit of the Division of Support Enforcement and Recovery of the Department of Health and Human Services
The Surrogate
The Surrogate’s Court is a New York State county court the primary subject jurisdiction of which is decedents’ estates. It also handles adoption proceedings.
Suffolk County’s Surrogate’s Court itself is in Riverhead, the county seat. At the time we are talking about, the Surrogate’s resident chambers, those maintained for the judge of the Surrogate’s Court in the locale of his residence, were in Northport, at the western end of the county, some fifty miles west of the county seat. Generally, the only hearings held at the resident chambers were those in adoption proceedings, although occasionally, there were hearings held there in proceedings in decedents’ estates for the location convenience of attorneys and their clients.
The Surrogate’s law assistant had a room a very small room, actually a good-size closet which served as his room in the Surrogate’s resident chambers. The law assistant’s cubby hole was reached by traversing the Surrogate’s secretary’s room, which was located on one side of a hallway, on the other side of which were the Surrogate’s chambers themselves. The cubby hole was pretty much filled by a very small table and its chair. Seated at the table was the law assistant, who was going back and forth among the memoranda submitted in support of their clients’ positions by the four lawyers appearing in the proceeding on which he was working.
The Surrogate’s secretary was typing the Surrogate’s decision in another proceeding: portions of the legal memorandum submitted on behalf of the prevailing party enclosed by the Surrogate’s opening and closing sentences.
The last of the adoption proceedings for that day had just terminated, and the attorney for the adoptive parents in that proceeding had accompanied them out of the building and walked them to their car, offering his felicitations upon the adoption. However, instead of then getting into his own car, he re-entered the building, took himself to the judge’s secretary’s room, and asked her if it would be possible to see the Surrogate for a moment. The secretary went to the door of the judge’s room, knocked on it, entered the room, closing the door behind herself, and almost immediately came back into her own room.
"The Judge would be very happy to see you." She beckoned the lawyer to follow her, opened the door to the judge’s chambers, ushered the lawyer into the room and departed, closing the door behind her.

"Judge, do you have a moment?"
"All the time in the world, George."
"I just wanted you to know how helpful your law assistant has been. When I ran into him in Riverhead about a month ago, we got to talking, and I took the occasion to tell him about the problem I was having in finding legal authority for my client’s position in an estate proceeding in Nassau County. I asked him if he had ever had to research the subject, it not appearing to be covered by any statute or case I could find. He couldn’t recall that he had, which didn’t surprise me, because I had researched the matter pretty thoroughly I thought, but a few days later, there came in the mail a note from him with two case citations he hoped might be helpful in the case I had told him about when we talked in Riverhead. I thought that was pretty thoughtful of him to do that quite apart from the fact that his citations won the day for me, to say nothing of the fact that the cases he found for me were not to be found where one would expect to find them."
"Well, nice of you to make a point of telling me this, George. Of course, he’s been my law assistant for better than two years now I mean, even a sponge would have absorbed some research capability in that time. By the way, how’s Lou doing? I understand he’s home from the hospital now."
Kilbride & Shaw
Maynard Kilbride and his partner, George Shaw, had their law offices on the first floor of a white frame house, their old files in the attic, and a paying residential tenant on the second floor.
The ambience of the law offices of Kilbride & Shaw was that of quiet, serious business. There were two silent typists assaulting their Royal manual typewriters at quite a good pace. At their sides were respectable piles of work yet to be done. Every once in a while, the telephone rang, but the girls, neither of whom could have been more than twenty, were hardly interrupted in the continuousness of their typing by what they simply did not permit to be significant interruptions. Whether by training or by reason of instinctive understanding that they were there to get all the typing done, they handled the telephone calls in such a way as to keep the time which they took from their typing to an irreducible minimum.
This was neither accidental, nor was it essentially a tribute to the secretarial staff. Long before George had come along, it had been the practice of Maynard to hire only girls right out of the local high school--and the pool from which he chose his permanent full-time employees was further restricted to those whom he had started as part time employees on the recommendation of the secretarial course teacher while they were in their junior or senior years. Now, Kilbride had been in practice for himself for a number of years when he and George got together; and the process of having high school girls come in part-time and in the summer during the regular secretary’s vacation had been repeated a sufficient number of times to have become an established practice by the time a second secretary was needed. This was not because Maynard could not keep a secretary--as a matter of fact, the possibility of employment by him had evolved into one of the carrots that the secretarial practices teacher could hold out in front of her students.
