The Family Law Resource Center (FLRC) is now offering our services in an online format you can do from home.  Please know that we will continue our online services for the Family Law Resource Center going forward and it is the best way to initiate and move forward with your family law action.

What services are available online?

FLRC has online form packets for the following actions:

  • Divorce with children
  • Divorce with no minor children
  • Modification of a final order in a divorce, custody or legitimation action
  • Contempt – failure to follow a final or temporary order in a divorce, custody or legitimation action
  • Answer to Divorce, Legitimation, Modification or Contempt
  • Legitimation – MUST have attended a Legitimation class in the past
  • Adult Name Change

To determine if we can help you, please complete the FLRC Screening Form located at this link: https://mediationsavannah.com/screening-form

After you complete the form we will be in touch via email to let you know if we can be of assistance.

What counties do you service?

Our forms can be used for any county in the State of Georgia. Each County has its own local rules – ways they handle mediation, judge assignments, final hearings, classes, etc. We have the local forms for Chatham, Effingham, Bryan & Liberty counties. We are adding additional county local rules forms as quickly as possible. If your county is not listed here, you can use our forms but must check with your county clerk to see what additional forms are needed pursuant to its local rules.

Required Parenting Classes

Parents of minor children must take a 4-hour parenting class. The Mediation is now offering virtual classes.  To take the online Transitional Parenting class click here.  To take the virtual Zoom live Legitimation class click here.
