How can we help?
Helping people find the information they need is vitally important. That’s why the South Australian Family Law Pathways Network has established the Pathways Kiosk, an innovative court based information and referral service providing information about family law services to legal professionals and to the general public.
Online or phone: We can provide up to date information and make referrals for those who make enquiries.
We cannot give legal advice.
People make enquiries regarding for example:
- The next time available at their local children’s contact service – see: https://pathwaysnetworksa.com.au/resources/childrens-contact-services/
- Parenting after separation.
- Property after separation.
- Mediation.
- Court process.
- Legal services.
- Family and domestic violence.
- Behaviour change courses.
We can also make other general enquiries to agencies or respond to specific requests as required.
To contact Pathways, please:
- Email: pathways@rasa.org.au
- Ring: 0407317376
At court: For those who are at the court, there is a large selection of brochures from a broad range of services available at the Kiosk.
Legal Services Commission of SA: Family Advocacy and Support Service – Duty Lawyer Service and Social Support Service
The Legal Services Commission of SA operates a Family Advocacy and Support Service (FASS).
It is located at the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia and provides duty lawyer and social support services to people with family law matters who have been affected by family violence.
The FASS lawyers are also able to assist in matters where the person is not affected by family violence but needs on-the-spot assistance with a current proceeding. Social support workers (including a family social worker, a men’s worker, and a mental health worker) can help people to engage with family law processes safely and can help with safety planning.
