Note:       Transcripts are prepared by registered Court Reporters who are contracted by the Family Court to prepare a transcript of the requested court proceeding and must be presented on this form.  Transcripts are usually completed two to three weeks from the date of receipt of the request.  Transcripts must be paid for in advance.  A charge of $6.50 per page plus an administrative charge of $5.00 is invoked. 

Once a request is made, the assigned Court Reporter will contact the requestor and supply an estimate of the cost.  Transcripts in each Division of court are prepared in the order requested.  A check in advance payable to the Family Court Escrow Account is required to cover the estimate.    The requestor will receive a detailed billing from the Court Reporter and any final payment is due upon release of the transcript.  No transcript can be released without payment of all costs. Although estimated costs are supplied in advance, the requestor is responsible for any amount over the estimated amount.  Attorneys remiss in payment of overages will not be permitted to practice in Family Court.

Should the transcript no longer be needed, requestor shall notify the Court immediately by phone and follow-up with a letter in writing, either by mail or fax, and will be responsible for payment for all work completed up to the date of receipt of notification at the rates cited above. 

No transcript will have priority over regular appeal transcripts. The same $6.50 cost procedure shall apply to appeal transcripts, however because an original and two copies are required there shall be an additional charge for the copies.  Cost of copies of appeal transcripts shall be charged at the rate of $1.20 per page with $1.00 allocated to the court reporter and .20 allocated to the Family Court.

Yes, I have read and agree to all of the above terms.
