Legal + justice system advocacy
Our staff and partners are available to support survivors with navigating legal and justice systems. This includes helping survivors understand what to expect, providing case updates, and accompanying survivors to court.

There is a legal advocate available at our office and also on-site at the Orleans Parish Civil Courthouse to assist survivors with safety planning, drafting, and filing paperwork. We also partner with attorneys from Project SAVE and SLLS who represent survivors for free at protective order hearings.
divorce + custody
Our Southeast Louisiana Legal Services (SLLS) on-site attorneys assist survivors in Orleans and Jefferson Parish with divorce and child custody cases.
