The program provides packets containing all forms necessary for divorce and other family court matters, for a fee. In accordance with limits set by the Supreme Court of Florida, litigants are assisted in the use of their packets, forms are reviewed for completeness and instructions on court procedures are provided.

Representing Yourself – County of Alameda – Superior Court …

Posted: at 7:52 pm


People who represent themselves in court are called pro per or pro se litigants. When they file papers with the court, instead of identifying an attorney as their representative on their papers, they write that they are pro per or pro se in the space where the paper asks who the attorney is representing.

Individuals have the right to represent themselves in court. People do this for a variety of reasons. In all criminal matters an individual has the right to be represented by an attorney, and if a person cannot afford an attorney, the Court will appoint an attorney to represent the person. In non-criminal juvenile matters and in some other situations, the Court may appoint an attorney for a person if they cannot afford one. In civil, family law, and probate matters, people may represent themselves. The Court will not appoint an attorney for them. In small claims matters, individuals must represent themselves; attorneys are not allowed to represent anyone in a small claims matter except on appeal. Sometimes the court will recommend that a person seek advice from or hire an attorney to help them, particularly if the case is more complicated or there are issues in the case for which legal advice would be very helpful. However, the Court cannot recommend specific attorneys.

You cannot come to Court and tell the judge that you are nota lawyer and do notunderstand what you aresupposed to do. The judge cannot give you legal advice about your case normake decisions based on your lack oflegal knowledge or understanding. Theymust follow the law. They may suggest you speak with an attorney, but cannot recommend specific individuals or firms to you.

Each type of case has special rules and procedures that apply. To access the Court's Local Rules, click here.

Chapter 1: Understandings about Self-Help What is psychological self-help? What will this book do for you? Finding what you need in this book Finding other self-help books and Internet sites Understandings between You, the Reader, and Me, the Author

Understanding 1: We, as humans, primarily learn to be the way we are; therefore, at any point in life, we can learn to be different. But, it may not be easy to change.

Understanding 2: Self-help is a relatively new, still-to-be-proven approach, involving a few well tested methods, but many methods are unproven. Research supporting self-help approaches is accumulating.

Understanding 3: I prefer to be honest with you about the effectiveness of self-help methods. I'm not going to "talk up" a method or try to "sell" you a product; I'm trying to get you to learn and to think for yourself. Also, I don't want to deceive you

Understanding 4: Any therapist or self-help method may do harm. Reading and self-help seem to rarely do damage. Note: pessimism and the fear of trying to help yourself, resulting in your doing nothing, cause much more harm than any self-help method.

Understanding 5: It may be difficult to measure changes in your adjustment, but you should try. Objective measurement is necessary for honest evaluation. Every self-helper should try to be his/her own researcher.

Understanding 6: Honestly looking at ourselves and changing may be stressful, but we need to do it.

Understanding 7: Do not hesitate to work on your most serious, meaningful, and intimate problems.

Understanding 8: Becoming a good self-helper will probably require a lot of time and effort. You should prepare for problems in advance. It is a life-long task.

Understanding 9: Don't wait for magical solutions. DO SOMETHING to help yourself. Be strong! Confront any resistance to change and challenge all your defeatist attitudes. Learn to believe you can change things.

Understanding 10: This book does not prepare you to be a therapist. Help others, but don't take control and "treat" others.

Understanding 11: If your problem(s) could be caused by physical-chemical factors, see a physician first.

Understanding 12: When your problems are severe and/or your self help efforts are ineffective, seek professional help immediately.

Understanding 13: This book cannot meet all your needs.

Understandings for groups and classes: Be clear about the purposes of your group, know how you can contribute, maintain confidentiality, and help others feel safe. Be sure you understand the reasons for the requirements of your group.

The Psycho-Social Educational Approach The publishing business and self-help books Why is it so hard to find the information you need? The neglect of prevention by books and institutions Why should self-help psychology be given away? How can it be? A brief review of the idea of self-control Our attitude towards "self-help" will influence the future of humanity Summary

Self-Help Being Your Own Best Friend Choosing Goals

Posted: at 7:52 pm


Being Your Own Best Friend

Self-help doesnt have to mean lonely years spent with library books telling you what youre doing wrong with your life. Self-help is ultimately about making strong, sensible changes and proving yourself with the support you need to see those changes through. Self-help can, therefore, include a network of counselors, information providers, medical professionals, coaches, and more.

The soul of self-help is the decision to take charge of your own life, your own treatments, and your own goals and outcomes. In a world where many drift along, pointing at this influence and that as explanation for their lack of satisfaction with life, a very few determine to take back control, and captain their own life into satisfying adventures and desired safe harbors. This attitude is at the core of the self-help movement: adult responsibility, adult engagement, and adult process applied to life itself.

Self-help can be pursued in many ways, but its always a dynamic, involved process in which the patient refuses a passive role. Rather than being worked upon, the self-realized individual works upon herself with the aid of professional allies.

Finding allies to work with can be a challenge. It requires having planned far enough ahead to at least choose one prepared ally as a starting point. In many cases, the first ally will be a doctor, a civil servant, a member of the religious clergy or an agent of a sound professional referral agency. Any of these can then help provide information on available professionals, useful areas of expertise, and best practices.

Once you have a basic team of allies in place, you can begin setting basic goals. Dont go overboard: a to-do list more than about six lines long is likely to overwhelm, especially in the first stages of a major life-restructuring. Its better to choose one, or possibly two long-term goals, no more, and to then determine a path to that goal, from supportive ways to think to necessary ways to behave. Good allies will have suggestions for method and technique, and for timing within your lifes long arcs, but will allow the patient to choose the goals and accept or reject certain techniques.

The advantage of providing yourself with professionals, either as information sources or as actual allies, lies in the effect technique can have on self-help outcome. Working alone from a book all techniques seem equally valid, presented by equally prepared and impassioned advocates. A trained and informed professional, whether a care giver or an educator, can help sort out the techniques and methods most suited to your personal circumstance in ways you cant. Together you and those you have chosen for your team will put together a system of best practices tailored to you, your life, and your goals, with support built in, regular rewards and check points, and time to evaluate your progress.

Whats certain is that only by actually getting under way, and seeing your project through to a resolution, will you accomplish the things you set out to do. This is the follow-through stage of your self-help campaign, and in the end its the aspect your chosen friends and allies can only observe, not control. Self-help takes many forms, but the follow-through is of necessity self-oriented, self-sustained, and self-rewarding.

Remember, the central element of self-help isnt isolation, but self-motivation and control. Dont feel shy about building a team of supporting players! Just remember that youre living your life, and they can help, but they cant take over.
