April 12, 2014 by Executive Committee, National Parents Organization of Utah
At a recent membership meeting, National Parents Organization of Utah presented general information and suggested resources on representing yourself in court with a focus on family law matters. This information is important for those representing themselves or for those considering self-representation.
Our primary purpose for posting this is to provide a tool and reference information, such as the embedded links, for Utah members and prospective members who are considering self-representation or are already representing themselves. Of course, start with the Forms and Documents and Frequently Asked Questions on National Parents Organization’s website.
The complete presentation, with links to Utah resources, is attached. As you access Utah state offices remember the difference between legal information and legal advice.
Legal advice explains your legal rights, suggests what course of action to take, and the possible consequences of the lawsuit. Legal information is information on court procedures, due dates, deadlines for filing certain documents, when hearings are scheduled and information that is contained in records. Pro se litigants must do their homework.
To be successful in a case, the pro se litigant must become aware of and continually review: Utah Rules of Civil Procedure and applicable sections of Utah Code.
