Divorce & Children

Family Law focuses on legal issues that affect family relationships. These laws provide a pathway for adults and children to receive fair and equal results when they create and break relationships through the court. Family Law involves a wide range of domestic relations matters such as child custody and support, paternity, divorce, alimony, name changes, and domestic violence, among others.

Attorneys at Community Legal Services (CLS) can provide legal assistance to customers who are involved in these cases. CLS Family Law attorneys focus on assisting domestic violence clients in obtaining injunctions for protection, initiating dissolution of marriage actions, and litigating custody and paternity matters. CLS also extends services to those who have a reasonable fear of violence but have not become a victim of domestic violence.

If you are thinking about representing yourself or filing pro se (filing on your own) in court for a dissolution of marriage, custody, or paternity action, our attorneys may be able to assist you in preparing the necessary documents for your case.
