Attorneys no longer submit filings at the counter of the Clerk’s Office. All attorneys file their IV-D Juvenile & Small Claims filings through the Odyssey E-file system. All IV-D filings submitted through the E-file system will be processed through the Lake County Crown Point Clerk’s Office, not the Gary Juvenile Clerk’s Office.
Only 3 reasons a Clerk can reject a filing:
Per Trial Rule 86
The applicable filing fee has not been paid
The filer selected an incorrect case management system
The filer requests rejection
