Resource Committee

Note: To join us as a litigant or volunteer, or to request court watchers for a specific hearing, go to FACTS Courtwatch

The Resource Committee is committed to defraying some minor costs encountered by parents. FACTS funds are limited, but we hope that, once establishing this resource, we will be able to obtain a grant to expand its reach.

The Resource Committee requires proof; expense must be incurred after the parent has registered with us and has an active case; and has to be presented in a timely manner, within three months.  Funds are currently very limited, so there is no guarantee of availability.

Inquire at cristina@factscourtwatch.org, if you wish to apply for help.

See the Rules below.
