To make matters worse, if they can’t afford an attorney to assist them in the custody issues of their children, they will likely set aside concerns of their own personal safety, and choose to re enter the abusive relationship for fear of leaving their children alone with the abuser. Abused individuals are, for all intents and purposes, hostages in these situations – not only to their abuser, but to the legal system as well. Here are RFTA when we receive a referral from a shelter about an abuse survivor in their care needing legal representation, we bring a whole team up behind them. From counselors and attorneys, to a comforting court companion, we make sure that not only are these survivors well represented, but that they are well cared for too.
