Child Custody

Child custody issues can be stressful and emotional.  Summit Legal Aid can help parents and caregivers understand their rights, create custody arrangements that support children’s well-being, and navigate the court process with guidance and support.

Child Support

Child support plays a key role in a child’s stability and well-being.  Summit Legal Aid can help parents establish, modify, or enforce child support orders so that children receive the support they need to thrive.

Divorce

Divorce can feel overwhelming, especially when safety, housing, or finances are at stake.  Summit Legal Aid can provide advice and representation to help individuals move forward, protect their rights, and build stability for the future.

Juvenile Dependency

When a child’s safety or care comes before the court, the process can be confusing and difficult for families.  With support from county contracts, Summit Legal Aid can assist parents and caregivers in Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties in juvenile dependency cases to protect their rights and keep families together whenever possible.

WE CAN HELP

Depending on the issue, we can give you advice, represent you in court, or help you fill out complicated legal paperwork. And if you qualify, our services will be free to you.
