Access and Visitation Grants Available For Self-Represented Litigants Initiatives

The Administrative Office of the Courts has approximately $200,000 in grant funding available for the development or continuation of initiatives that will address the needs of divorcing, divorced, or never married self-represented litigants and focus on services to help them resolve any or all issues concerning parenting and visitation in child support cases or cases involving child support issues. These initiatives may include efforts such as mediation programs, self-help centers, legal clinics, and unbundled legal services.
