San Mateo County Family Law Facilitator
The Family Law Facilitators provide general information and referrals. They will review your paperwork and help you obtain:
- initial orders or modifications for child custody, visitation, child, or spousal support
- domestic violence restraining orders
- initiating an action to establish paternity
- dissolution (divorce), legal separation, nullity
- responses to any of the above
- fee waivers (if you cannot afford the court filing fees)
- income and expense declarations
The Family Law Facilitator also calculates child and spousal support under the California State guidelines, assists both parties to prepare stipulations (agreements) regarding child custody, visitation, child and spousal support, and prepares orders for parties who have come from a court hearing.
Although the Facilitators are attorneys, they do not represent you and can only give you general information about the law and your case. Please see a private attorney for a consultation before you begin your legal proceedings to learn about your legal rights. |
