Protecting Children's Voices
High-conflict divorces can leave children feeling unheard and emotionally harmed. At Child-Centered Advocacy, we understand the profound impact these situations have on young lives. Your support enables us to provide trauma-informed legal representation that prioritizes the well-being of children caught in the turmoil of their parents' disputes. Together, we can ensure that their voices are heard and their needs are met during these challenging times.
Family Law Should Always Be Trauma-Informed.
Why We Exist
High-conflict divorces can leave children feeling lost in the turmoil, emotionally strained, and without a voice in the legal system. When advocacy lacks a deep understanding of both the law and the impact of trauma, the process often becomes adversarial instead of focusing on healing and resolution. Children deserve a supportive environment where their needs are prioritized, allowing them to emerge from such situations with hope and resilience.
Our Approach
We collaborate with law firms that have attorneys with licensed mental health degrees, ensuring that families receive comprehensive support that combines legal expertise with psychological insights. This unique approach allows us to address the emotional and mental well-being of children while navigating the complexities of their legal situations. By working together in this way, we strive to provide a holistic support system that enhances our clients' overall experience and outcomes.

We serve low-income families navigating family courts in California. We collaborate with legal teams that advocate passionately and with a trauma-informed approach. By offering accessible guidance and support, we aim to level the playing field and ensure that every child's voice is heard in these critical situations.
