I am a divorced single mother who faced the brutal battle fields of the family law court system for eight years and I am a survivor of Domestic Violence. As a result of my experience; I founded Women’s Legal Resource in 2006. Women’s Legal Resource originally designed as a tool I used to vent my frustrations with having to deal with bureaucratic red tape of child custody and child support, other women who were experiencing the same ordeal, started emailing me for advice. Today, I advocate and empower other women to take charge of their legal challenges and encourage others to take a stand to be proactive. Knowledge is a powerful resource. Unfortunately, the legal system is failing women and their children who are victims of domestic violence and often the courts give custody to the fathers who are perpetrators of violence and abuse. Women's Legal resource plays an active role in advocating for Domestic Violence Reform, as well as, Family Law Reform and supports several assembly bills currently is legislation with Assembly woman, Fiona Ma.
