The Helen M. Reinsch Legal Clinic has provided services to over 60 clients this year. Most of these women received representation in court actions for restraining orders. We have succeeded in obtaining restraining orders for most of our clients. We have also represented clients in contested child custody matters and actions for child support. Other clients received legal advice and papers to file on an in pro per basis. The Legal Clinic continues to grow and offers services to community clients as well as residents of the Emergency Shelter and the transitional housing unit. We are able to provide service all the way from obtaining an initial temporary restraining order to final dissolution of the marriage. Most of our cases involve child custody issues and a good deal of our legal work involves making sure that the Commissioners who hear these cases take the protection of the children seriously. Although California law created a presumption that the protected party should get custody of any children, the law also presumes that liberal visitation is in the child's best interest. We endeavor to document potential risks to the children and have been very successful in getting orders for supervised visitation.
