Do you have interpreters available?
For clients who do not speak English, Domestic Relations (DRS) utilizes a telephone interpreting service for a wide variety of languages at no cost to the DRS client. This service is available for use during scheduled conferences, during client visits or during any telephone contacts with the DRS when needed.

DRS will also make arrangements for an interpreter to appear at any scheduled Court hearings if it is known that an interpreter is needed. If you are scheduled for a hearing and need an interpreter, please notify DRS as soon as possible. This service is also provided at no cost to the DRS client.

For any client who is hearing impaired and in need of an American Sign Language interpreter for a DRS conference or hearing, the client should complete the Request for Reasonable Accommodation Form. Forms should be sent to Court of Common Pleas ADA Coordinator. Once request is granted, the Request for Reasonable Accommodation will carry over for any future appointments. This service is also provided at no cost to the DRS client.
