Family Law Workshop
Family Law Workshop
The Family Law Workshop, a joint venture of the Cherokee Superior Court and the Cherokee County Bar Association, is designed to help self-represented litigants gain a better understanding of the legal process and court procedures.
Some individuals do not have the desire or ability to hire a lawyer to represent them in a traditional fashion, but they may need legal help with a particular issue or portion of their case. The Cherokee County Bar has provided a number of attorneys who will offer specific, limited legal services at set rates. Information on this type of legal assistance will be provided to workshop participants.
The free Family Law Workshop is mandatory for self-represented litigants, and it is offered via Zoom. At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to ask a family law attorney general questions via the Chat icon.
Workshop Objectives
This workshop will assist you with the following case types:
- Divorce
- Contempt
- Paternity/Legitimation
- Modification
- Name Changes
Navigating through the legal system can be extremely difficult. Each case is individualized by its own set of facts; however, there are some basic rules that all cases must follow which this workshop will address.
No workshop can teach you everything you need to know about representing yourself in any legal action, but this workshop is designed to answer some of the basic questions you may have:
- What information do I need in order to file?
- Are there mandatory forms that I need?
- How do I schedule my case for a hearing?
- What are the operating procedures of the Court?
