Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Helping families understand their rights, options, and next steps

1. What does National Family Justice do?

We support families navigating high-conflict custody, family court, and legal system abuse. Our services include education, advocacy, professional training, and support for families facing issues like violations of rights, coercive control, domestic violence, and parental alienation. We also file amicus briefs in landmark cases affecting parental rights.

2. Are you a law firm?

No, we are not a law firm and do not provide legal representation or advice. However, we offer tools, education, document review, and strategic support to empower families and pro se litigants. We can also help you find trauma-informed legal professionals in your area.

3. Can you help me if I don’t have a lawyer?

Yes. We specialize in supporting pro se (self-represented) parents with tools and reasources to help you advocate for yourself in court. We also provide referrals to vetted professionals.

4. Can you help if my case involves domestic violence or coercive control?

Absolutely. We recognize the difference between true “high conflict” and post-separation abuse. We help parents identify patterns of coercive control, gather documentation, and protect their children while advocating for safety in court.

5. What is your stance on shared parenting?

We support 50/50 shared parenting as the default in the absence of abuse, supported by child development research and constitutional equal protection. We also advocate for safe exceptions when domestic violence, abuse, or coercive control is present.

6. What is an amicus brief and how do you use them?

An amicus brief (friend of the court brief) is a legal document we submit to offer expertise or insight in cases with broad impact. We use them to advocate for parental rights, equal custody, and protections for children in courts across the U.S.

7. Do you work with military families?

Yes. We assist military-connected families by ensuring custody orders respect deployment obligations, federal protections like the SCRA and UDPCVA, and parent-child bonding despite service duties.

8. Can you help with problems involving CPS,  a guardian ad litem, or a parenting coordinator?

Yes. We review CPS reports, GAL conduct, parenting coordinator conduct, custody evaluations, and risk assessments for ethical violations. We also provide documentation support and can help elevate concerns when due process is denied.

9. How can I get involved with your organization?

You can support our mission by volunteering, donating, or joining our parent-to-parent mentorship program. We also welcome professionals who want to advocate for reform or provide trauma-informed services.

10. How do I request help or a case review?

Use our contact form or email us directly at [email protected]. Please provide a short summary of your situation and what kind of support you’re seeking. A team member will follow up within 3–5 business days.
