    About the Family Law Navigator
    The Family Law Navigator supports individuals with children at any stage of separation or divorce. The Navigator connects individuals with the resources they need.
    Here to help

I don’t know where to start with my family law issue. Where can I get help?

The Family Law Navigator supports individuals with children at any stage of separation or divorce. The Navigator connects individuals with the resources they need.

First, the Navigator meets with individuals one-on-one to gather information about their needs. The one-on-one meeting may take place in person, on the phone, or by video call. After the meeting, the Navigator connects the individual with resources they need, depending on their situation.

The Navigator is neutral, meaning that they do not take sides. As a family’s situation and needs change, the Navigator can continue to provide step-by-step support.

The navigator does not provide:

  • Legal advice, including suggestions on what legal steps to take.
  • Assistance with court forms, including instructions on which forms to use or revision of forms.
  • Services that are provided by other programs (for example, child support guidance, parenting plan development, or safety plan support).
