Standardized court forms for divorce and custody matters may be obtained on a dedicated page of their website at http://www.pacourts.us/learn/ representing-yourself and forms related to child support through a link from that page to www.childsupport.state.pa.us. Instructions for completing the forms are included on the site. Also provided are links to counties in which each family court is located to provide selfrepresented litigants with details on how and where to file the documents. Additional resources include a directory of local self-help centers, Web links to free and lowcost legal aid and search mechanisms to help find mediators and guardianship agencies. Please note the “Representing Yourself” page is designed to provide a place for interested parties without the ability to retain counsel to explore resources needed to represent themselves in court. It is not intended to provide legal interpretations or advice — those services can only be provided by an attorney. Indeed, while the courts are providing these forms and instructions, all who can retain an attorney are urged to do so. Representing yourself in any legal proceeding can result in lost rights, and should not be done unless one has no other (Katrina Hassel) option. *Source: http://www.pacourts.us/news-and-statistics/news?Article=388 Like us on Facebook: Friends of the Grove City Community Library.
