Family law center at University of Montana offers students practical experience

Ryan Archibald isn’t married and he doesn’t have kids, but four hours a week, he’s at the Missoula Family Law Self-Help Center

But he’s not there for himself. The second-year University of Montana law student is there four hours a week to donate his time.

The self-help center opened in 2008, and provides packets of forms needed in family law proceedings for divorce and custody agreements. The packets range in cost from $2 to $12 — significantly less than the cost of a lawyer. Volunteers at the center can’t give advice on what people should do, but Archibald said he frequently lays out the options people have and allows them to choose the best one for them.
