The Department of Family Administration at the Administrative Office of the Courts is responsible for assisting the various circuit courts in developing a comprehensive family law system in Maryland. Family Administration has overseen the creation of the family divisions in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Montgomery County and Prince George's County, and family services programs in the remaining 19 counties. Family Administration staff work with judges, masters, court administrators and family support services coordinators to develop family law policy and to identify and promote best practices in the handling of domestic and juvenile cases. Program staff have worked with each circuit court to assist them in developing a broad spectrum of services to assist Maryland families. The Department of Family Administration administers funding provided to establish and enhance Maryland's family law system. In addition to providing funding to individual jurisdictions, the Department of Family Administration makes funding available through its Special Project Grants to organizations who provide legal or other services designed to enhance the experience of families that come before the Maryland courts.

The Department of Family Administration includes the Foster Care Court Improvement Project (FCCIP), a federally-funded initiative to improve the courts' handling of child abuse and neglect cases.
