Courthouse Assistance and Helpline
Helpline
VLP clients with family law problems (divorce, child custody, child support, etc.)
may receive legal advice and assistance with their case from a volunteer lawyer or law
student over the telephone. Phone appointments are scheduled on either Wednesday evenings
from 5:30-8:00 or Friday afternoons from 1:00-4:00. You will be representing yourself
in your case but your Helpline attorney can assist you in understanding and planning for
upcoming court appointments, filing out court forms and making decisions about your case.
You may have more than one Helpline appointment to help you at different stages of your case.
Courthouse Assistance Projects (CHAPs)
Attorney volunteers provide help with family law matters at the District Courts in
Portland, Biddeford and Lewiston. You can show up at the designated times for a brief
conference with a lawyer.
