MVLP currently assists clients with civil legal matters, primarily in the following areas: uncontested divorces, emancipations, simple wills, adoptions, guardianships, name changes, birth certificate corrections, child support contempt matters, child support modifications, conservatorships and visitation matters. Eligibility for MVLPs services is determined by federal poverty guidelines, including income and assets and citizenship status.  Eligibility is further determined by the organization's thorough review and  assessment of a prospective client's legal matter for rejection or acceptance. Potential MVLP clients are screened by MVLPs staff to determine whether they qualify for MVLPs services. If a potential client qualifies for MVLPs services, the client is matched with a volunteer attorney who will represent him/her on behalf of MVLP. MVLP clients have cases in the following areas: uncontested divorce, removal of minority/emancipation, wills, adoption, guardianship, name change, birth certificate correction, child support contempt, child support modification, conservatorship and visitation.
