Helping You Find Your Way Through Family Court

A Steady Guide for Self-Represented Parents to Feel Confident in Georgia Family Court.

We Are Here For YOU

Have you found yourself unable to pay costly attorney fees and simply wishing you knew someone who had already been through the family court process — someone who truly understood what you’re facing and could tell you what to expect, how to prepare, or how to stop feeling so overwhelmed? Navigating court on your own can feel isolating and frightening, especially when so much is at stake and hiring an attorney simply isn’t financially possible.

That’s exactly why Family Court Compass exists — and why you’re here. Created from lived experience, this is a place where you can finally exhale. A place designed to help you feel informed, prepared, and supported as you move through the process on your own. You don’t have to walk into family court feeling unsure or alone anymore. You’ve found clarity, structure, and guidance — and a steady hand to help you move forward with confidence.

Guiding Your Family Journey

Navigating family court can feel overwhelming and intimidating, especially when you are doing it on your own and trying to protect what matters most—your children and your future as a parent. Family Court Compass is here to guide you through that journey with clarity and care, particularly during times when hiring an attorney is not financially possible. We help you understand what to expect in the court process, organize documents and court-appropriate forms, and prepare for hearings so you feel confident and ready. Our support is educational and organizational only and does not include legal advice or legal representation. It is designed to reduce stress, bring structure to a complex process, and help you move forward feeling prepared—not alone.
