When dealing with financial issues, support orders, custody matters, etc. there are many legal ramifications. Therefore, using an attorney to handle the court process is highly recommended. Although you have a right to represent yourself and process your own case through the system, this is very complicated and not recommended. Court personnel will offer you all the assistance they can, but they are restricted from any assistance that would equate to offering legal advice.
