The Legal Assistance Center (LAC) provides support for individuals involved in a wide range of civil legal matters, including:

• Divorce
• Child support
• Parenting time
• Custody
• Paternity
• Personal protection orders (PPOs)
• Guardianship
• Landlord-tenant disputes
• Small claims
• Court-fee waivers
• Judgment collection

Our assistance includes offering tools, legal information, and court-approved forms to help individuals move forward with their civil cases.

Please note: We are only able to assist individuals who are representing themselves in court—commonly referred to as Pro Per, short for in propria persona, a Latin phrase meaning “for oneself.” If you are currently represented by an attorney, you do not qualify for services from the Legal Assistance Center.
