What do they do? The DV advocate in court didn't even go in the court room with me.

Your local DV center I think will have advocates that will attend court appts w/ you. In my past experience, they also have knowledge of domestic/family law. I know you've been relying on DSS, but what about your local domestic abuse center? Is there a # in the front of your phone book for DV? I've recently started the court process and what a lawyer and DV says are different? What about leagl aid?

Hang in there Lisa!
