Alicia is the mother of two young children. Alicia was abused by her husband throughout her marriage, including being threatened at gunpoint. Her children were afraid of their father due to the violence and threats they witnessed on a nearly constant basis. Alicia attempted to file for divorce using pro se forms, but was unable to complete them due to a language barrier. Legal aid represented Alicia during the divorce to ensure that she and her children remained safe during parenting time exchanges. Alicia can now live in peace knowing she and her children will be safe from further abuse.
