Description

In contested child custody cases—through divorce or a parentage case—the court may appoint a child representative to advocate for the child's best interests. It's one of the most influential roles in a custody case, but what does the job actually involve, and what does it take to do it well? Our expert panel will walk through the court process and share what you need to know about stepping into this role.

Ready to serve as a child representative through CVLS? Our training program is the place to start. You'll leave with the practical knowledge and skills to advocate effectively for children—and make a real difference in their lives during some of the hardest moments their families face.
