Solano Legal Access Center (SLAC) and Family Law Facilitator

PLEASE READ THIS:

HOURS  The Solano Legal Access Center and Family Law Facilitator are now open to the public every weekday except Wednesday from 815 AM to 12 PM.  We offer all of our services on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.  We are closed on Wednesdays. On Fridays we help with restraining orders only. 

Our hours and services are subject to change. 

We help people without lawyers with their family law cases. 

We may be able to help you with:

• Divorce
• Child support
• Restraining orders
• Child custody and parenting time
• Spousal support
• Guardianship of the person of a minor

SPECIAL HOURS FOR RESTRAINING ORDERS

If you need help with a domestic violence restraining order, come to our office on any weekday.  Try to get here before noon (12 PM). 

Online help with restraining orders can be found here:

IF YOU COME TO OUR OFFICE

• We operate on a first come/first served basis.  The earlier you come, the more likely it is that you will get the help you want.  Be prepared to wait for help.
• Please do not bring children to our office.  We will not be able to help you with children present, unless you need help with a domestic violence restraining order. 
• We cannot help you if you are represented by a lawyer in your case. 
• We cannot help with the division of pensions, with complicated divisions of property and debt, with discovery or with complicated enforcement issues.  In the opinion of the Facilitator, these sorts of issues require the counsel of an experienced family law attorney. 
• We are not your lawyer – no attorney-client privilege exists between you and this office and your communications with this office in any form are not confidential.
