Both legal professionals as well as self-represented lay persons occasionally have difficulties filing documents at Family Court. This section outlines a helpful procedure which will ensure a fair recourse if you were subject to a Clerk’s power to refuse documents and subsequently instructed which documents the Clerk of the Court would accept for your matter. When you are in front of a judge, this procedure will assist you so you can prove that the difficulty was not because you filed the wrong documents, but because you were subject to a Clerk’s power to refuse the filing of your documents.

**IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT SUPPORT GROUP MEETINGS**
We do not offer legal advice at our support group meetings. Legal advice can only be obtained from a lawyer. We do not have a lawyer in attendance at our support group meetings. Our free support group meetings are chaired by a senior certified law clerk who is also a divorced father and an adult child of divorce. Our Support Group meetings are a place to share and exchange personal experience and knowledge about the process of separation and divorce. Discussions at our meetings are of a supportive nature so that fathers can gain a clearer understanding of separation/divorce from the perspective of fathers who have had success in Family Court. Meeting dates are subject to change.
