Overview

Mission

Family Law Service Center provides legal services to low income families who are victims of or at risk for domestic violence and/or child abuse. These services include dissolution of marriage, child custody, visitation and support, legal separation and guardianship.

What it reported doing in 2010

Family Law Service Center provided services for 289 clients from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010

Operating model

Revenue model
Earned-program. 74% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Program spending has declined or grown slowly and revenue has declined or grown slowly.
