Fempired:Legal Resources

This page is a work in progress - please have patience while we finish adding in additional resources for the community.

Legal Resources

Please Note: We here at Fempired are not a legal resource, nor are we able to act as or provide legal representation.

In the United States, most Legal Aid Services are based upon a sliding scale of income for an individual or family. The full chart for the Federal Poverty Level is HERE.

If you make at or near the Federal Poverty Level, you may be eligible to receive free or greatly reduced Legal Aid.

^(Please report posts like these to the moderators when you see them.)

If you do not make at or near the Federal Poverty Level, additional resources are available to you.

The resources below cover a wide variety of topics including the following:

• Domestic Violence
• Divorce
• Stalking
• Housing Law
• Wills and Trusts
• Family Law
• Disabilit

Please utilize the resources and direct any/all questions to legal representation
