If you are dealing with a family law case that is outside of the State of Maryland, we may be able to help. While we can’t possibly list every resource across the nation, we are working to compile a list of organizations that will help you get started no matter where you live. We recognize that there is a critical need for more legal services organizations that focus on child custody matters involving domestic violence and child abuse. Our hope is that increased awareness of the need for specialized legal services will lead to the formation of more local organizations.
