Its core services include a comprehensive state-by-state database of custody jurisdictional statutes (UCCJEA), long-arm statutes, relocation statutes, and federal law summaries (PKPA, VAWA Full Faith and Credit); direct technical assistance including sample pleadings and litigation strategy support; and training webinars for attorneys and advocates. All services are provided free of charge to survivors, advocates, and attorneys.

The Legal Resource Center on Violence Against Women operates as a single-service non-profit organization providing legal resources and support for domestic violence survivors involved in interstate custody cases. The core offerings consist of Technical Assistance Services (helping attorneys find representation, providing legal research and litigation strategies), Training Programs (webinars and office hours on interstate custody and domestic violence), a State Laws Database (comprehensive UCCJEA, long-arm, and relocation statutes across all U.S. states and territories), and Practitioners' Tools (sample pleadings and statute summaries).

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Futures Without Violence: National DV advocacy and policy organization that produces training curricula, resource libraries, and research on DV and health/justice intersections. Comparable to LRC as a content and training provider for advocates and attorneys working with DV survivors.
• National Domestic Violence Hotline: The primary 24/7 national crisis and referral hotline for DV survivors, which already refers cases to LRC. Operates at significantly larger scale and serves a broader crisis-intervention scope but overlaps on legal resource referral for interstate custody survivors.
• National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges: Operates a searchable state law database on domestic violence and protection order statutes that LRC explicitly cross-references. Comparable as a national curator of family and DV law resources for judges, attorneys, and advocates.
• American Bar Association Commission on Domestic & Sexual Violence: A commission of the ABA that mobilizes the legal profession to increase access to justice for DV/SA victims. Functions as both a strategic partner and a broader peer providing pro bono attorney mobilization, training, and policy advocacy in the DV legal space.
• Legal Services Corporation: The federally funded national organization that distributes funding to local legal aid programs for low-income Americans, including DV survivors. LRC explicitly refers survivors to LSC-funded agencies, making it the primary federal parallel organization in civil legal aid for low-income populations.
• National Network to End Domestic Violence: National advocacy organization representing state DV coalitions and serving as the social change umbrella for the U.S. DV movement. Overlaps with LRC on policy advocacy, training, and coalition-building, but operates at significantly larger scale and broader scope.

Direct peers

• Battered Women's Justice Project: National resource center providing training and technical assistance on DV and the justice system, including custody and criminal justice intersections. Closely comparable mission and operating model to LRC, focused on improving system responses for DV survivors.
• WomensLaw.org: Provides state-by-state legal information, statutes, and forms for domestic violence survivors, including custody and protection order topics. Highly comparable to LRC's state laws database and serves the same survivor and advocate audience with overlapping legal content.

Emerging players

• Casa de Esperanza: National Latin@ DV resource center and advocacy organization providing training, publications, and community resources on DV in Latin@ communities. Comparable niche-specialist mission to LRC with bilingual capacity and similar focus on underserved DV populations.

Regional players

• Safe Horizon: One of the largest U.S. providers of DV and victim services, primarily in New York but with national programs. Comparable as a comprehensive DV services organization offering legal assistance, hotlines, and shelter, though much larger and more service-line diverse than LRC.
