The Women and Family Law Legal Aid Program provides quality personal legal aid to women on matters of family law (divorce, refusals to grant Jewish divorce (get), child-support, custody, division of property and related matters), either through full legal representation or through initial telephone consultation through the helpline.
The program includes a legal aid clinic, which is designed to train the next generation of family law attorneys to be committed to promoting women and advancing gender equality.
Legal representation is only provided to a limited number of women, based on the Center’s limited resources. Representation is provided pro bono, with the exception of the fees and expenses involved in handling the case. Initial legal consultation is provided to all women free of charge.
