YWCA Child Custody Project
The YWCA legal services program administers the Child
Custody Project through the Maryland Legal Services Corporation
matching private attorneys with low-income individuals seeking representation
in custody matters. Clients are screened regarding their income and
the type of assistance that is required. Attorneys are partially compensated
for their representation. In order for an individual to access services,
call 410.626.7800 ext. 300 and leave a telephone number and a good time
for legal staff to return the call. Prior to placement, the individual
must fill out an affidavit for the program, it will take at least three
weeks to place the case with a private attorney. Any attorney interested
in participating in the program should forward a letter of interest
and a copy of cover of their liability insurance policy to the YWCA
legal services office.
