Appalachian Family Law Information Center

The Appalachian Family Law Information Center (AppFLIC or FLIC) was developed to assist Pickens, Gilmer, and Fannin counties residents who wish to represent themselves in domestic legal matters or educate themselves about domestic issues.

​​

AFLIC offers a comprehensive range of legal form packets and instructions, including those for divorce (with and without children), contempt, legitimation, child custody and visitation modifications, modification of child support, and name changes. Some of these resources are conveniently available online.

​

It's crucial to note that this website does not provide legal advice. Only a lawyer who is not affiliated with the Family Law Center can offer you legal advice.  If you cannot hire an attorney due to limited income and will be representing yourself, AFLIC may provide you with basic information on court procedure.  AFLIC is available only if you prove you have limited income and do not have an attorney. 

​

The Appalachian Family Law Information Center recommends that parties seek the advice of a lawyer who will be familiar with the law and the court's procedures.  Should you choose to proceed without the advice of a lawyer, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the Standing Orders for the Appalachian Judicial Circuit.

 

A link to the Domestic Relations Standing Order may be found under the "Start Here" section. 

 

The information provided may or may not help you understand the different aspects of appearing in court, including the paperwork and /or forms necessary to proceed.
