Justice for families enhancing domestic violence victim safety through supervised visitation and civil legal advocacy

The Department of Justice Offices Boards and Divisions Office on Violence Against Women awarded Anna Marie's Alliance $550,000 under the Justice Systems Response to Families federal grant program (CFDA 16.021) for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2024.

The project aims to enhance domestic violence victim safety through supervised visitation and civil legal advocacy services. Specifically, Anna Marie's Alliance will provide supervised visitation for families experiencing domestic violence to allow children safe contact with their non-custodial parents. The organization will also offer civil legal advocacy to help victims obtain protection orders, resolve issues related to child support and custody, and navigate other family law matters that can arise from domestic violence. This funding supports the Justice Systems Response to Families program's goal of improving how all parts of the justice system respond to families experiencing domestic and sexual violence.
