§ 10004 Family Law Facilitator Services

The law says family law helpers must give parents easy-to-understand info, forms, and help with child and spousal support, and point them to other agencies that can help.

Key Takeaways

  • •Facilitators give parents easy-to-read guides about parentage and support.
  • •They hand out the needed court forms and help fill them out.
  • •They create support payment schedules using the law’s rules.
  • •They send families to child support agencies, family courts, and other community services.
  • •In places with a family law info center, facilitators also help with child support questions.

Example

A mom who just got divorced needs to set up child support for her kids.

She can go to a family law facilitator, who will give her the right paperwork, explain how the support amount is calculated, help her fill it out, and send her to the local child support agency if she needs more help.
