  1. Court and AdministrativeChild Support ExchangesAKA: Non-Standard Exchanges Using GJXDM 2006 Global Justice XML Data Model User’s Conference September2006

  2. AGENDA • Why is the NCSC working on non-criminal activities? • What have we done? • Where are we going?

  3. Why Try to Apply GJXDM to Non-Criminal Cases? • Court Workloads Nationally • State Trial Courts - approximately 66.8 million incoming cases in 2003 • Traffic cases - for 54.6% of all incoming cases in State Trial Courts in 2003

  4. Overall . . . 68% 44%

  5. Why Child Support? • They were interested before there was a GJXDM • HHS/NCSC collaboration in late 2001 and early 2002 • To determine if the Electronic Court Filing 1.0 DTD could handle child support cases • Showed that the ECF DTD could model the complexities of child support cases, albeit not for sophisticated financial calculations

  6. Why is Child Support Challenging? • Complexity • Familial relationships • Legislation and regulations governing case types, incentives, and case flow • Administrative and non-administrative remedies

  7. Why is Child Support Challenging? • Complexity • Custody and financial orders • Arrangements for regular payments, arrearages, medical care, and education • When do they end? • Who gets paid? • Do payments change as visitation arrangements change? • Medical and insurance information

  8. What Makes It Easier Than Some Other Efforts at Exchange . . . • The child support enforcement community has a 30 year history of sharing increasing information • Parent Locator System • Federal and state tax intercepts • Employer notifications

  9. What Might the Justice Community Learn from the Child Support Community? • Authoritative definitions • Local/state/federal continuum • Big carrot and big stick

  10. What Have We Done? • 2002 Child Support DTD in conformance with the ECF 1.0 Standard • Used successfully in New York since then • NY is the only state out of the 54 states and territories that can currently differentiate in their annual court caseload statistics the different types of support cases: • IV-D Intrastate • IV-D UIFSA • Private Support

  11. Most Recent Activity • IEPDs and XML schema for intrastate (not interstate) cases (single case and mass submissions): • Request for Remedy • submission by the Child Support Enforcement (CSE) units (or private parties) • Administrative bodies • Courts for modifications • Courts via petition • Court Orders • Submission back to the Child Support Enforcement units or private parties • Financial support arrangements • Custodial and visitation arrangements • Paternity determinations

  12. Joint Workgroup • Court and CSE representatives from the same states: • California • Colorado • Delaware • Georgia • Iowa • Michigan • New York • Oklahoma • Vermont • Virginia • Washington State

  13. Current Status • Completing the final changes to documentation • Will enter into the Joint Technology Committee standards review process for the court community and a similar process in the child support enforcement community • Will be added to the Clearinghouse and to the NCSC website during the review process for use

  14. What Were Our Problems Using GJXDM for This Non-Standard Justice Exchange? • Terminology • Obligor, obligee, custodial and non-custodial parents • Areas that were the right stuff but not the right context • Medical insurance details for children, not for automobile accidents • Broadness and appropriateness of definitions • Greater precision and more clear authority for child support community

  15. Where are We Going? • Encouraging broad use in the courts and child support communities • International interest and treaty and conventions inclusion • Application to Interstate cases • Document and forms creation

  16. Where is the NCSC Going with Non-Standard Justice Models? • Expansion to other non-traditional justice arenas • Child welfare • Child protection orders • Conservatorships & Guardianships

  17. Where is the NCSC Going Generally Beyond IEPDs? • Have developed proof of concept open source federated Registry/Repository for IEPDs • Human searchable and readable • Machine searchable and readable • Registration and notification of updates after registration

  18. Excellent results fromGJXDM for a non-standardjustice purpose and an excellent partnership across traditional boundaries
