Domestic Violence · West Virginia · Free

Working with criminal and civil court systems on domestic violence response. A starting point for safety planning that accounts for LGBTQ+-specific risk patterns. Most LGBTQ+ DV programs offer free legal help with protection orders, housing transitions, and custody. Protection orders work the same for LGBTQ+ relationships; civil court issues them regardless of marriage status. Open at no cost to LGBTQ+ West Virginia residents and the people supporting them.
