Court Self Help Center
Located on the first floor of the Lancaster County Courthouse, the Lancaster County Court Self Help Center opened in July, 2004. The main purpose of the Center is to provide one central location where self-represented litigants can obtain some of the information and forms that they may need to represent themselves in certain types of court actions. Neither the staff in the Center nor the staff in any Court office will be able to give you legal advice or help you fill out the forms. The information in the packets is not to be a substitute for professional legal advice tailored to a specific fact situation.
The following information packets may be purchased at the Center or
downloaded free from this website:
How to file for custody, partial custody or visitation ($10)
How to file for an uncontested divorce ($10)
