Which services may help?
Family Court services
Family Courts deal with family matters and may provide counselling, social-work or probation-related support connected to a case.
Choosing the right route
Use general parenting support for skills and guidance. Contact the relevant Family Court when support is connected to maintenance, custody, care and control, access or an existing case.
How to start

Contact the appropriate Family Court when relevant
Use the official court directory to find the court serving your area when the concern is connected to a family-law matter.
Confirm eligibility and intake
Ask whether the service is open to the public, linked to a court case or requires referral or an appointment.
