Courthouse Facilitators
If you do not have a lawyer and your case is in superior court, a courthouse facilitator can assist with family law cases, and in some counties, guardianship cases. A facilitator may be able to help identify which forms are needed, review your paperwork, assist you in scheduling a court hearing, explain court processes and procedures, and make community referrals.
Most counties have a courthouse facilitator program and typically you must make an appointment to access their services. Click here for a list of courthouse facilitator programs by county, including information regarding fees, how to schedule an appointment, and the services they provide.
Please note: Courthouse facilitators are nonlawyers; they cannot give you legal advice; they will not represent you in court.
