Family Law Legal Clinics & Workshops
Family Law Legal Clinic
The family law legal clinic offers you a half hour private consultation with a volunteer attorney regarding family law issues. The attorneys can help you navigate the legal system, and what options are open to you. The clinics are offered three times a month on Wednesday evenings. Sessions are offered with maximum confidentiality and are conducted by attorneys who specialize in family law.
Appointments are necessary, and can be made by calling 973-328-5025.
Family Law Workshops
Navigating the legal system can be intimidating and confusing. It is hoped that the information gathered by the workshop participants will make the process less painful.
Family Law Workshops help with topics that include the divorce process, enforcement of child support, tips on completing legal forms (such as the case information statement), mediation, post matrimonial relief, alimony, best use of an attorney's services and new legal mandates.
There are seven sessions, each dealing with specific areas of family law. The two hour, small group workshops are conducted by attorneys who specialize in family law, and each session is a self contained unit so you can attend one or all six.
The workshops are held from 7-9 PM, usually on a Tuesday evening. These workshops are FREE, but pre-registration for each segment is required. Call 973-328-5025 or send email to womenscenter@ccm.edu for more information. The next family law workshop series will run on Tuesday evenings July 7, 14, and 21, 2009. Please pre-register for each seminar segment you wish to attend. Workshop topics and dates are listed on the
Women's Center calendar.
