Description

The Self Help Center/Family Law Facilitator can’t be your attorney, but they can help with paperwork and process for family law issues, small claims court, and other issues.

Ways to Contact

In-person services are very limited and first-come first-served. Check out the information HERE then call, chat, or plan ahead to visit in person.

Process

Even though the wait can be long, there are a mix of attorneys, paralegals, and other court volunteers to either help you immediately, or to schedule a follow-up appointment and/or a workshop.

Notes

Children and family members not invited in, but there is a children’s waiting room on the second floor.

Collect key information in advance if possible: case numbers, names of key people, court dates and deadlines, documents related to the issue, and any questions you have.
