American Bar Association
Free Legal Answers
About
A volunteer lawyer answers one civil question online. Topics include family, divorce, custody, and child support. It is not a lawyer who shows up in court, and it does not answer criminal questions. Income limits apply. Wisconsin participates.
American Bar Association publishes this. DadLane lists the page and does not run the program.
Who this is for
Dads with a specific civil question who may qualify for a written answer from a lawyer.
When
You ask. You wait for email. Nobody files your case for you.
