Visitation and custody disputes can be emotionally, intellectually and financially draining for all those involved.

For parents and children in need of assistance, the Children's Trust Fund provides funding support to the Children's Law Center, which offers legal representation, a legal information resource and parent mediation and education services to ensure children are placed in healthy and nurturing environments.

Legal Representation Program

If you fear your child's well-being is at risk due to factors such as mental illness, abuse or neglect, substance abuse, or domestic violence at home, contact the Children's Law Center to learn how you can get a court-appointed attorney for your child.

Children's Law Line

This easily accessible, statewide resource answers your family law questions and provides legal information regarding child support, custody, visitation, children's rights, divorce and other relevant topics.

Families in Transition (FIT)

If you are separated or divorced and in constant conflict with your child's other parent, this program can help. Co-mediation teams consisting of a mental health professional and attorney will help both of you reach amicable agreements out of court and provide the tools to resolve co-parenting issues that may arise in the future.
