It aims to protect the best interests of children and establish equitable outcomes for all parties involved. The Women’s Law Center provides pro bono direct Family Law Services through three programs:
The Family Law Hotline is a free and confidential service that provides guidance – not legal representation – on Family Law cases from experienced attorneys to help callers understand their rights and navigate the legal system.
Weekdays from 9:30AM – 4:30PM
The Collateral Legal Assistance for Survivors Project offers holistic legal services and representation to survivors of intimate partner violence in areas such as divorce, custody, and protective orders.
