Courthouse FacilitatorsMost counties have a Courthouse Facilitator Program. A Courthouse Facilitator is a legal professional who assists self-represented persons with their Family Law or Guardianship case in Superior Court. A person is self-represented if they are not represented by an attorney. Sometimes a self-represented person is referred to as acting "pro se." Courthouse Facilitators may also be referred to as Court Facilitators, Family Court Facilitators, or Family Law Facilitators. The Courthouse Facilitator's office may be located within the courthouse. It is important to remember that the Courthouse Facilitator is not your lawyer, cannot give you legal advice, and will not represent you in court. When you meet with the Courthouse Facilitator, you will be asked to sign a disclaimer informing you of these limitations on the program's services. You should consult a lawyer for advice about your case.
