Kitsap County Courthouse Facilitators

Connie Mayer	Tricia Croston

Thank you for visiting the Courthouse Facilitators' website.  The Courthouse Facilitators assist pro se litigants (persons who are not represented by attorneys) in Domestic Relations cases in selecting and reviewing forms, and with procedural instructions. The Facilitators are available primarily by appointment, with limited walk-in visits resuming in 2012.

Domestic Relations cases include:  Dissolution, Legal Separation, or Invalidity of Marriage; Dissolution, Legal Separation, or Invalidity of a Registered Domestic Partnership; Paternity/Parentage; Establishing a Parenting Plan and/or Child Support with a Birth Affidavit; Non-Parent Custody; Modification of Parenting Plan; and Modification of Child Support.  The Facilitators can also assist with motions for temporary orders or contempt motions in domestic relations cases.

The Facilitators Can:  

APPOINTMENTS - Fee:  $25.00 (cash or money order only)

Meet one-on–one with a facilitator to review paperwork, schedule court dates, get answers to procedural questions, and/or have child support calculated.  Each appointment is 40 minutes. Appointments must be paid for and scheduled in advance through the Kitsap County Clerk’s Office.  To schedule an appointment, call 360-337-7260, or click HERE to request an appointment online. 

Prepare for your appointment by filling out the forms you want to review with a facilitator. The facilitator will review the documents with you and let you know if they are filled out properly. The facilitators cannot give you substantive legal advice, only procedural advice. The facilitators cannot act as your attorney.

On the day of your appointment, bring copies of any existing court documents with you and any new forms that you have filled out. If you need a facilitator to calculate child support, also bring a completed Child Support Data Form* or proof of income for both parties with you.

*Note:  The Child Support Data Form is only available through the Kitsap County Clerk's Office or website.
