Courthouse Facilitators
The Courthouse Facilitators assist pro se litigants (persons who are NOT represented by attorneys) with Family Law and Title 11 Guardianship cases only.
The Facilitators DO NOT complete your forms for you. You should obtain and fill out forms BEFORE scheduling an appointment with a Facilitator. For information regarding forms
click here. The paperwork should be filled out to the best of your ability. You will have the time during the appointment to ask questions about the sections you do not understand but the facilitator will not fill out the paperwork for you.
The facilitators cannot give you substantive legal advice, only procedural advice and cannot act as your attorney.
Zoom or Telephone Appointments
Copies of your paperwork need to be provided to the facilitator before the appointment. You may Email your paperwork (address to be provided in appointment confirmation) or there is a "Facilitator" drop box located outside of the Clerk's Office (Room 202) for your convenience. Please send whole documents in PDF or Word format. Links or photos will NOT be accepted.
In Person Appointments
There are very limited times for in person appointments due to COVID. Zoom or Phone appointments will have sooner availability. If you are looking for the soonest appointment possible,
you will need to check each facilitator's calendar separately (you will
not be able to see Becky's and Athena's calendars at the same time).
If scheduling an in-person appointment, we ask that you:
-
Bring and wear a face mask or covering
-
Do not bring any children with you. (Due to space limitations these appointments are limited to no more than 2 adults)
-
Do not enter the courthouse and reschedule your appointment if you have felt sick and/or have been exposed to COVID within the last 14 days
