For survivors with children, custody issues are often a major concern, but the majority of survivors seeking courts orders or court decisions through the family court do so without an attorney’s guidance. NRCDV's August 2019 TA Question of the Month featuring guest author Amanda Kay from the Resource Center on Domestic Violence: Child Protection and Custody explores how advocates can support survivors navigating custody cases without an attorney.
