Hi everyone, I need recommendations for a family lawyer in Austin, TX that can help with a child custody and child support situation. Even better if it’s a female lawyer who is passionate about helping women in abusive situations. TIA
I’m really sorry to hear you’re going through this. I’d recommend reaching out to local women’s shelters; they often have resources for legal help.

That’s a good idea. They might have connections to lawyers who specialize in abuse cases.

What kind of shelters are you talking about? Like domestic violence shelters?

Yes, exactly! They can provide support and often have legal resources or referrals.
You might want to check out the Texas Bar Association’s website. They have a lawyer referral service that can help you find someone qualified.

Good point! They can help you find someone who specializes in family law and understands abuse situations.

Is it easy to use? Like, do you just fill out a form or something?

Yeah, it’s pretty straightforward. Just provide some details about your situation, and they can match you with lawyers.
You could also consider looking for lawyers who are part of organizations that support women’s rights. They often have good recommendations.

That’s a solid suggestion. Sometimes they offer free consultations too, which might help you get started.

Look for groups like the National Organization for Women or local domestic violence advocacy groups. They can connect you with supportive lawyers.
I hope you find someone who can help you through this. You deserve support and guidance. Have you thought about what you need from a lawyer?

Yeah, that’s important. Like, do you want someone who’s tough in court or more supportive during the process?
@True
I think having someone who understands your situation and can advocate for you effectively is key.
