Our Children & Youth program advances the legal rights of children and youth, empowering them to lead healthy and productive lives. When Rachel was just five, she needed someone to stand up for her. There were worries about possible abuse and she needed someone to move quickly to ensure she was safe and protected. Her legal case was complicated because she was not born in the United States. Did she, legally, have to go back to her home country?

I'm so proud to announce the launch of the Collective Punishment Campaign, a project I've been deeply honoured to be a part of. A massive thank you to Jemmar Samuels for the trust in this important cause 🙏 . Alongside Hasadri Freeman and her beautiful illustrations, we've developed the visual identity of the campaign, with which I've designed and built the website. The Collective Punishment Campaign's mission is to address the devastating impact of parental imprisonment on families and children across the United Kingdom. We firmly believe that punishment for the actions of others isn't justifiable. Our campaign is founded and led by individuals who have personally experienced the profound effects of parental imprisonment. We are committed to fighting against this unjust practice. Our website is a platform which serves as an information hub, compiling lived experiences, resources, and support for those affected. It offers an array of services, including in-depth research and analysis, shedding light on the impact of parental imprisonment, spanning psychological, emotional, and societal dimensions. We provide resources such as informative guides, support networks, and legal aid information, all aimed at assisting families and children. Within our community, individuals can tell their stories and contribute to general understanding. Please visit our website, explore the resources, and share this post to help us spread the word. https://lnkd.in/e8nFEqbS #CollectivePunishmentCampaign #ParentalImprisonment #Advocacy #RaiseAwareness #WebsiteLaunch #WebDesign #VisualIdentity

Here's the answer to yesterday's trivia question: 👉 In 1977, Superior Court Judge David Soukup found himself making decisions about children's placements and wanted more information from the child's perspective. His idea to solve the problem was simple, but has been highly effective over four decades later. He thought that if each child in the dependency system had a special, trained volunteer advocate appointed to them, who checked in regularly, that advocate could become the child's voice in court. And the rest, as they say, is history. #trivia #didyouknow #themoreyouknow #fosterplacement #superiorcourtjudge #fostercareawareness #childsperspective #problemsolver #moreinformation #effectivesolutions #volunteeradvocate #fosteradvocate #morethanamentor #childadvocate #checkin #beavoice #achildsvoice #iamforthechild #HelpAFosterChild #therestishistory

In Illinois, parents can seek a child support modification if they demonstrate a substantial change in circumstances since the original order. This may include shifts in parental income, expenses related to the child's care, custody arrangements, the child's needs, cost of living, or availability of public assistance. Should the court recognize such changes, they may modify the child support payments, always prioritizing the child's best interests. At Denis M. Gravel & Associates P.C., we offer experienced guidance and advocacy to navigate child support modifications. Whether evaluating changes or representing you in court, we're committed to securing the most favorable outcome for you and your child. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gfTsB2_H #AttorneyAtLaw #Gurnee #Illinois #GurneeIllinois #AttorneysAtLaw #AttorneysOffice #AttorneysOfIG #AttorneyStatus #LawFirm #LawyerAtWork #GurneeAttorney #TopRatedAttorney #LawyersOfInstagram #Lawyers #Attorneys #AttorneyAtLaw #LakeCountyAttorney #ChildSupport #SupportModification
