With a focus on family stabilization, we help low-income families and individuals in crisis, providing advice and representation on a range of family law matters. Whether you are seeking to establish paternity or navigate child custody arrangements, we are here to provide compassionate and expert assistance throughout these challenging times.
Custody, Visitation, and Child and Spousal Support:
Access Justice Brooklyn assists individuals and families by offering legal assistance in family court matters. We represent clients in custody and visitation cases by appearing with them in court and/or offering advice and counsel. Through our child and spousal support practice, we assist both custodial and non-custodial parents to ensure fairness and equity in support orders granted by the Kings County Family Court.
Uncontested Divorce:
In New York, many matrimonial attorneys are expensive, and few organizations provide free legal assistance with divorce cases. Access Justice Brooklyn’s self-represented uncontested divorce program offers free legal assistance to anyone seeking divorce from a partner, including those who wish to separate from an abusive partner. We provide clients with an overview of the uncontested divorce process, draft the initial and final divorce pleadings, and explain how to commence the divorce action with the court. Our services always prioritize the safety and confidentiality of our clients.
If you need legal help, you can start an online intake here. If you prefer to speak with staff directly, our intake hours are Monday through Thursday between 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Please call (718) 624-3894 or email us at help@accessjusticebk.org.
