All of our courts offer family law facilitation services. Our facilitators provide free information and help to people who are representing themselves in family law cases.
Please note that in most courts the facilitators are only able to help with family law issues. This includes cases related to divorce, separation, annulment, and child custody. Contact your court's program for more information about the types of cases they help with.
These facilitators can give you information but not legal advice. If you need legal advice, please talk to a lawyer.
Find a lawyer through the Oregon State Bar.
- Help you find the right forms and understand how to complete them.
- Explain how court procedures and rules work.
