Clerk of District Court
Family Law Self Help Center
The Missoula Family Law Self-Help Center opened its doors in July 2008 and provides assistance to those who can not afford an attorney or who choose to represent themselves in family law matters such as dissolution of marriage (divorce), legal separation and parenting plan (custody) cases. The Missoula Family Law Self-Help Center does not provide legal advice but rather, directs individuals to legal information and proper forms which are available to the general public.
