I gave my exhusband custody because I was facing some hardships and thought that would be in the best interest of my daughter. I have overcome the issues and have and still am receiving the help I needed. I am willing and able to care for my 14 year old daughter. Her stepmother makes her very uncomfortable. She is at the age where she needs her mother.

Important Information

Legal Aid Funding
Legal aid professionals and organizations oftentimes receive government funding for taking on cases with those who cannot afford attorneys. For the most part, funding is limited so legal aid entities can only take on a limited amount of cases. Qualifications are often rigid.
