The Impact of Divorce Basics

Each year, thousands of low-income Central Texans turn to VLS for legal help with family law matters. For many of them, VLS is their only resource. To ensure we can meet this need, VLS offers this seminar at no cost to attorneys who agree to take two family law cases involving domestic violence through VLS during the 2023 calendar year.
