SUMMARY - Support for Self-Represented Litigants
A person fills out family court forms incorrectly, misses filing deadlines they did not know existed, and loses custody not because their case lacked merit but because they could not navigate procedure. Another uses a court self-help center to complete divorce paperwork successfully, avoiding thousands in legal fees while reaching a fair settlement. Someone asks the judge for guidance during their hearing and is told the court cannot provide legal advice, leaving them confused about what to do next.
