THE FAMILY LEGAL CENTER

Ongoing, one-on-one support.

The Family Legal Center (FLC) empowers parents and grandparents who do not have lawyers to successfully advocate for themselves in child support, custody, and visitation cases.

At the Center, we offer:

  • Expert legal information tailored to your case
  • Help completing court documents and understanding court orders
  • Help with objections and appeals
  • Support groups for fathers and grandparents (and other kin caregivers)
  • Family budgeting and financial education
  • Accompaniment to court or other public agencies, such as the Child Support Collection Unit

You are welcome to just drop by!
