Domestic violence, divorce and victim advocacy in California family court is New Life Advocacy's specialty, with a primary focus on child custody cases.

We are dedicated to teaching victims of domestic violence how to navigate the complicated California family court system safely and quickly, with the least amount of negative impact on children.

If you are a victim of domestic violence, or know someone who is, you will want him or her to be totally prepared to disengage legally from the perpetrator. When children are involved, the perpetrator parent will often use family court litigation to re-victimize the family by contesting custody, which leads to a long cause custody dispute.

New Life Advocacy's Guide Through California's Family Court System for Victims of Domestic Violence

This user-friendly guide will teach the reader the policies, protocols and procedures of the family court system. They will become aware of the laws that apply to domestic violence and how to present a clear, concise and credible case to the court, thus minimizing the risk of losing custody and of becoming embroiled in long and re-victimizing legal disputes. Attorney Seth Goldstein, Executive Director, Child Abuse Forensic Institute, recommends our guide to victims and has said: "I am honored to give your publication a recommendation. It is by far one of the best for victims of domestic violence in child custody cases and it should be made as widely available as possible."
