Oregon Family Law Facilitators
Family Law Facilitators can help litigants in family law matters by providing educational materials, court forms, basic information about court procedures, referrals to agencies and other services, and limited assistance in completing forms. A facilitator is not an attorney and is unable to give legal advice.
