Local Resources for Pasadena Families Facing Legal Challenges

Pasadena family-law matters are handled through the Los Angeles County Superior Court system. The court provides family-law case information, court forms and filing resources, self-help services, remote-hearing information, and courtroom information for people navigating divorce, child custody, and child support issues.

California Courts notes that every superior court has family-law self-help services for people who don’t have their own lawyer. Self-help staff can provide legal information, but what you share with them is not confidential; there is no attorney-client privilege, and they cannot give legal advice or represent you in court.

Los Angeles County Family Court Services provides mediation services for parties with a pending custody or visitation matter. Understanding the available court and self-help resources can help families prepare for the procedural steps involved in a case.
