Family Law Hotline

The Hotline, operated in partnership with the Legal Aid Bureau, Inc., is a free service to people with basic family law questions such as "What are the grounds for divorce?" or "If I leave with the kids can I still get child support?" The volunteer attorneys screen the clients for income eligibility and collect basic data required by the funding source, Maryland Legal Services Corporation. The Hotline is staffed by attorneys experienced in family law.

The Hotline operates Monday - Friday 9:30am - 4:30pm, in two volunteers shifts of three and one half hours each.

Volunteer attorney's can staff the Hotline Monday through Friday. Each shift lasts three and one half hours. Volunteers are asked to commit to 2-4 shifts per year.
