LEGAL REPRESENTATION
Our CLC staff attorneys and social worker team up to protect impoverished children whose parents are involved in high-conflict family court cases by providing high-quality legal services and advocating for policies that advance the well-being and best interests of children. In our Legal Representation Program, CLC strives to achieve the most stable, safe, and beneficial arrangement for children caught in the middle of a family crisis such as a custody battle, divorce, or other chronic conflict. CLC takes on cases exacerbated by issues such as violence, neglect, addiction, incarceration, and mental illness. Our program serves as a national model of excellence and is unduplicated by any other organization in the state.

7-year-old Jonathan had been living with his mother while his father was incarcerated. When Jonathan and his mother met with a CLC attorney, it was clear that the mother had significant mental health issues. DCF was brought in and Jonathan was sent to live with his grandparents. In the meantime, the father was released from prison, but had no job or place to live. The mother entered treatment, showing stable behaviors and good signs of progress. Dad was also making positive strides and found both a job and home. Both parents were anxious to be a part of Jonathan's life, and the court agreed with our attorney that it was time for Jonathan to reunite with his parents. They now share joint custody and Jonathan is beginning to experience a safe, consistent family environment with both parents playing an active role in his life.
