Family Court Assistance Office
The purpose of the Family Court Assistance Office is to help the increasing number of pro se litigants involved in domestic relations cases (divorce, parenting time, or custody proceedings). "Pro se litigants" are people who are representing themselves in legal matters and are not represented by a lawyer.
The Family Court Assistance Office is part of a state-wide effort to improve the accessibility of the court system to the public. Staff inform pro se litigants of court processes and available court forms, process and review documents, and provide information about legal services and other resources available in the community. Court staff cannot give legal advice.
Domestic relations cases involve making important decisions and often have complex legal issues that are difficult to handle without an attorney. Because your rights may be substantially affected, we strongly recommend you seek legal assistance from a lawyer who will protect your interests. This is especially true in situations where you have been married for ten or more years, you or your spouse have a retirement plan, own real property, have young children, or if either you or your spouse have significant health problems.
The Family Court Assistance Office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. - 11:30 a.m. If you have questions, please stop by the office during the open hours or call (541) 682-4302. The Family Court Assistance Office is located in the basement level of the Lane County Courthouse, 125 E. 8th Avenue, Eugene, OR 97401.
The Family Court Assistance Office has a variety of forms available for getting divorced, establishing custody, parenting time (visitation) and support, and modifying or enforcing an existing custody or parenting time order. These forms are for simple cases. They are separated into packets and offered for a nominal fee. Please click here for a list of forms available for downloading and printing.
