Can anyone offer advice or suggestions on how to find legal assistance for a domestic abuse victim in Southern California who is on welfare and seeking a divorce? I’ve already filed a Domestic Violence Restraining Order (DVRO) and attempted to contact local domestic violence programs.
The accused spouse is in another state. I’d appreciate any recommendations or insights from those who have successfully accessed free or affordable legal aid in similar situations.
Thank you!
