Who qualifies for services from Survivor Justice Center’s free family law program?
If you are a survivor of domestic violence or sexual assault — or otherwise in a situation involving safety risks — you may qualify for representation through our free family law program
What types of family law cases can a free family law attorney from Survivor Justice Center help me with?
Custody
If you or your child has experienced abuse by the other parent, our free family law attorneys can help you create a custody plan that prioritizes safety and clarity. That plan may detail who the child will live with day-to-day, set visitation schedules, and define which parent can make important decisions for the children (e.g., education, medical care, moving, etc.).
Divorce
If you are married to someone who abuses you and you want to end the marriage, our attorneys can help you file for divorce. Through divorce proceedings, the court can also address custody, child support, and property orders — helping you build a safer path forward for you and your children.
Paternity
For parents who were not married when a child was born, it’s often necessary to legally establish parentage before custody or child support matters can be resolved. Our free family law attorneys can help you file for paternity — and after parentage is established, they can help with custody, visitation, or support orders if needed.
