The Middle Way House Legal Advocacy team supports survivors of sexual violence, domestic violence, and human trafficking. We recognize that navigating the legal system can be complicated and intimidating. Our goal is to guide and support you through this process.

Our legal advocates can assist clients with various issues, both over the phone and in person, including completing divorce petitions, obtaining protective orders, and accessing court support. They can also discuss custody options, parenting time, and violations of protective orders and provide referrals to legal programs or other helpful resources. Furthermore, we may refer clients to pro bono and reduced-fee legal programs, private attorneys, therapists, and other valuable resources, including The Hope Card, the Address Confidentiality Program, and survivors’ compensation. Please note that we do not offer legal advice or representation. 

Our advocates serve clients in six southern Indiana counties: Monroe, Greene, Lawrence, Owen, Morgan, and Martin. Legal advocates are available at the New Wings Administrative Building from Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM. Walk-ins are welcome, but it is advisable to call ahead so that an advocate can expect you. No prior relationship with Middle Way House is required to receive legal advocacy services. In addition to our main office, advocates are also available at outreach offices in Greene, Owen, and Martin counties.
