The Family Law Facilitator's Office is available to help both parties who have questions about child support, spousal support, child custody and visitation,
establishment of parental responsibility for minor children, health insurance, and the availability of community resources to help families. Services include:
intake, information and referral to legal services partners, individual assistance with legal document preparation; bilingual assistance and legal reference
materials for non-English speakers; assistance in conducting self-guided legal research; and coordination of volunteers and interns who provide direct customer services.
The Family Law Facilitator, a licensed attorney employed by the court, provides assistance to parents involved in
parentage actions and other family law matters concerning child and/or spousal support. The services of the Family Law
Facilitator include: distributing court forms and voluntary declarations of paternity, providing assistance to parties
in completing forms, preparing child and spousal support calculations, as well as mediation of support matters. The Family
Law Facilitator also provides referrals to the Department of Child Support Services, Family Court Services, and other community
agencies providing services to families. The Facilitator CANNOT help people who are represented by attorneys. The Facilitator
CANNOT give legal advice or represent parties in court and is not responsible for the outcomes of cases.
Although the Family Law Facilitator's Office is staffed with licensed attorneys and other legal support specialists,
they are neutral and do not represent either party. There is no confidential attorney-client relationship between a
party and the Family Law Facilitator. Whenever possible, individuals are strongly encouraged to retain their own attorneys.
The Family Law Facilitator is a great resource for individuals who have cases in the Family Court. Because the Family
Law Facilitator does not give legal advice or represent parties, both parents often use the Family Law Facilitator
to help them resolve disputes involving family support and issues surrounding children.
What to Bring
To ensure that the meeting is helpful and productive, individuals are required to bring:
- All of their court papers;
- Paystubs for the last two months or other current income verification;
- Copies of any agreements reached or child custody recommending counselor's recommendations in counseling;
- Any other information that seems relevant to the court case.
