While family law practice is generally regulated by state law, it’s a well-known fact that each county has its own family law structure, implementation procedures, and county-specific forms. Every paralegal has experienced the frustration of attempting to file a pleading, obtain a form, or simply find out the HOW of getting something done in a county in which they have had little experience. Too often, we find ourselves learning county-specific practices primarily through exhausting and inefficient means such as Google searches and trial-and-error.
In today’s ever-advancing technological environment, we have it within our power to network quickly and efficiently to share information and resources and to assist one another in refining our skills. It is the intention of FLPP to be the medium through which this happens. If you are interested in joining a dynamic group of family law paralegals focused on taking our profession and our practice area to the next level, feel free to contact me, or contact our membership chairperson, Jenn Echikson.
