Family Law Facilitators

Every court in California has a lawyer that will help you with family law problems for free. These lawyers are called "family law facilitators." The facilitators can't be your lawyer, but they can help in other ways. In some counties, they show people how to fill out court forms. They can give you brochures about family law and tell you about other places to get help, like lawyer referral services, legal aid clinics, and self-help law centers.

Not all Family Law Facilitator offices are able to assist with dissolution (divorce) and custody issues. Some counties limit services to child support, spousal support and health insurance in on-going cases. Contact the local Facilitator office for further information.
