The Chattahoochee Family Law Information Center (CFLIC) was developed to assist residents of Chattahoochee, Harris, Marion, Muscogee, Talbot, and Taylor counties who wish to represent themselves in domestic legal matters or educate themselves about domestic issues.
CFLIC has legal form packets and instructions available to assist in the following areas: divorce (with and without children), contempt, legitimation (available online), child custody and visitation modifications, modification of child support, and name changes.
If you need assistance finding your information, you may talk to someone from CFLIC at the Muscogee County Courthouse. The CFLIC is normally staffed from 10:00 AM until 12:00 PM on the first, second, and third Fridays of each month. Please call (706) 653-4010 to confirm the CFLIC will be staffed.
The CFLIC does not provide legal advice. Only a lawyer may provide you with legal advice. The CFLIC recommends that you seek the advice of a lawyer who will be familiar not only with the law but will also be familiar with the procedures of the court.
