The Office of the State Court Administrator does not certify or recommend any Child and Family Investigator (CFI) by inclusion on these rosters.  Inclusion on these rosters indicates that the CFI submitted a completed affidavit for eligibility as a CFI, passed a background check through processes and guidelines established by the Office of the State Court Administrator, and completed the mandatory CFI training. Judicial districts determine final eligibility for appointment of any CFI listed on the Statewide Eligibility Roster. Inclusion on eligibility rosters should not create an expectation of appointment.

A party considering requesting appointment of a CFI should conduct an independent investigation of his or her qualifications.
