Are you going through a divorce or thinking about leaving? Have you already separated but continue to experience harassment and/or violence from your former partner or co-parent?
If you answered 'yes’, ‘maybe’ or even ‘I’m not sure' to any of the above, we invite you to join us February 24th with our friends at the incredible nonprofit MOMentum to share a meal with one another as we present on the occurrence of domestic violence and harassment in family law.
Navigating the legal system is incredibly challenging as it is, but when domestic violence and harassment are factors, it can feel intimidating, frightening, and impossible.
McGill Law, PC, LLO attorneys Jodie McGill and Theresa Loughran will present on mediation, protection orders and custody agreements as related to domestic violence in family law matters, and much more.
Domestic violence thrives when we are silent, we hope to use our voices to raise yours.
Register by emailing meredith@momswithmomentum.org or sending MOMentum a direct message. There are virtual attendance options available.
Most of all know that we see you and we believe you.
You are not alone.
Hosted and organized by MOMentum. Lunch provided by Brenda’s Boards with Her Company, sponsored by JTM Plumbing and Drain.
If an attack is in progress or about to happen, call 911 and if possible, protect yourself, children, and pets.
