Family Law Unit: Legal Assistance to Victims
Taking steps to start a life away from an abusive relationship can be difficult, costly, and are often further complicated when you have children and/or own property with the abuser. Our Family Law Unit attorneys provide representation on a full range of comprehensive civil legal services to victims and survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Westchester and Putnam Counties. We collaborate with community-based organizations to provide clients with assistance regarding immigration, housing, counseling & safety planning.
Our multilingual legal representation includes:
- family offense - orders of protection
- custody/visitation and child support petitions
- spousal support
