Our Mission
CLC advances the rights of children through legal representation in proceedings that involve custody, visitation, domestic violence, and child protective matters.
In the courtroom and community, we empower our clients, reduce the negative impact of family dissolution and court involvement, and promote well-being and equity for kids.

For over 25 years, the Children’s Law Center (CLC) has stood by tens of thousands of children facing family dissolution, domestic violence, and legal uncertainty in New York—making sure they are heard, supported, and advocated for every step of the way.
