Legal Support

Legal assistance is crucial for victims of domestic violence as it provides essential support in addressing pressing issues such as protective orders, housing matters, emergency custody, and dissolution of marriage. Access to legal guidance empowers victims to understand their rights and navigate complex legal processes, ensuring their safety and well-being. Protective orders can offer immediate safety from abusers, while assistance with housing matters can help secure stable living conditions. Emergency custody arrangements protect children from potential harm, and legal support during divorce proceedings ensures that victims can negotiate fair outcomes. Having access to legal resources significantly enhances a victim’s ability to reclaim their lives and move towards a safer, more stable future.

While MCADV does not offer legal assistance directly, we collaborate with various legal providers throughout the state who specialize in cases related to domestic violence.
