We operate through five specialized professional divisions that provide the "Hardware" and "Software" for a stable life:
We Restore Neighborhoods: We use rundown historic landmarks as "living classrooms". We train parents in high-wage heritage trades—like historic masonry and timber framing—so they can fix community blight while earning the income needed to support their children.
We Navigate the System: We provide "Court Navigators" who help parents organize court papers, track deadlines, and create verified "Compliance Packets" for judges. This replaces courtroom hearsay with neutral, irrefutable facts.
We Neutralize Barriers: We provide the physical tools for success through our Transit & Mobility Solutions (rides to work and court) and Housing Stabilization Group (moving families from crisis to permanent homes).
We Practice Stability Before Accountability: We believe you cannot hold a parent accountable for rules they have no physical way to follow. We fix the "engine" of their life first—housing, transit, and jobs—so they have the actual capacity to meet the high standards the court requires.
We Heal the Human: We address the moral injury and deep grief caused by family separation. Our spirit-centered recovery curriculum helps parents reclaim their inner authority and identity after being "erased" by institutional systems.
What Problems Do We Address?
What Problems Do We Address?
Right now, a massive gap exists in private family court between what families are told to do and what they are actually equipped to do, leaving parents and communities to crumble under the weight of the following unaddressed barriers:
Right now, a massive gap exists in private family court between what families are told to do and what they are actually equipped to do, leaving parents and communities to crumble under the weight of the following unaddressed barriers:
The Private Court Service Desert
Families in state-funded DHS cases get caseworkers and support, but parents in private cases (custody, visitation, support) often get zero help, leaving them to navigate a confusing legal system entirely alone.
The Justice Escalation Cycle
We address the "spiral" where a simple problem causes a missed visit or shift. The court sees "willful neglect," leading to license suspensions, job loss, and unpayable debt, which can eventually lead to incarceration and or loss of the parent-child bond.
The Lack of Pro Bono Representation
In private family court, 4 out of 5 low-income parents are forced to represent themselves (pro se) in court without any guidance on how to organize documents or understand complex legal rules.
What Makes Us Different Than Other Organizations?
What Makes Us Different Than Other Organizations?
We are the national pioneer for
Trauma-Informed Spiritual Direction (TISD)
specifically targeted toward family court restoration.
TISD is a safe, non-judgmental space designed to help parents heal from the emotional stress and grief of family separation due to private family court litigation.
Unlike traditional legal or social services that only focus on paperwork and court rules, TISD addresses the human side of the crisis. Through spirit-centered recovery and compassionate mentoring, we help parents process trauma, rebuild their self-worth, and regain the inner strength needed to navigate the court system with confidence.
