The "Self-Help" Desk is amazing!
We highly recommend leveraging your local self-help desk or center to save time and money. A family mediator can help you make the right decisions based on the issues you must work through.
​
What is a Self-Help Desk or Center?
A Self-Help Center is a place where you can find helpful information and services about your legal problem if an attorney does not represent you. Legal information includes court forms and tools to help you complete court forms, answer general questions about court procedures, and help prepare your documentation. You can get help in many different ways, such as reading information or watching videos under Help Topics, calling or emailing the desk, and/or visiting in person to a local Self-Help Center.​
