As Annie got to know and trust Rhonda, Annie opened up to her and disclosed that her husband Carl* was abusing her and the children.</p> <p>LAWV assisted Annie with a domestic violence petition. Carl was highly contentious and initially ignored the family court’s orders. Melissa Hager, the children’s project attorney, went on to help Annie with a divorce, a custody modification, two contempt hearings, and an additional domestic violence petition in order to enable Annie and her children to attain safety.</p> <p>The family court judge also ordered Carl to pay Annie’s property tax and utility bills. Because Carl refused to pay the bills, Annie’s gas was cut off, leaving her with no heat and only cold water at her house. Annie was also in danger of losing the home and the car she was awarded in the divorce case, both of which were paid off at the time of the divorce, because Annie had to borrow money against them to pay the property taxes.</p> <p>LAWV attorneys also represented Annie in a Social Security Administration case. The judge, after three hearings, awarded Annie $20,253.33 in back benefits and a monthly SSI check of $619.</p> <p>Thanks to her SSI lump sum award, Annie will be able to keep her house and her car, and have her gas and hot water turned back on.<br>Annie and her family will be safe with income and their own home, thanks to legal aid.</p> <p><em>*Names have been changed.</em></p></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-client-stories field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field field--name-field-client-stories field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items field__tags"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/26" hreflang="en">Domestic Violence</a> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field field--name-field-topics field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items field__tags"> <a href="/taxonomy/term/104" hreflang="en">Domestic Violence</a> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-state-or-territory field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"><a href="/taxonomy/term/88" hreflang="en">West Virginia</a></div> Wed, 12 Aug 2015 15:26:18 +0000 admin 2514 at
