(PRWEB) September 16, 2004 -- The Wake County Bar Association's bi-annual
“This Is The Law” program gives Spanish speaking residents an opportunity to get
answers to their family law questions. The next session is scheduled for October
3, 2004 at St. Raphael's Catholic Church at 5801 Falls of Neuse Road in Raleigh,
NC. It starts at approximately 3:15pm, immediately following the Hispanic/Latino
Mass held at St. Raphael's.
Wake County District Court Judge Salisbury
will do a presentation in Spanish regarding family law issues such as child
custody, child support and domestic violence. Following her presentation, there
will be an opportunity for audience members to ask speak with attorneys about
their specific situation and get answers to their particular questions,
one-on-one. Translators will be provided, as well as refreshments.
Several attorneys from Rosen Divorce, a Raleigh law firm which practices
divorce exclusively, have volunteered to be on hand to answer questions
regarding North Carolina family law. Ketan Soni, one of the volunteers and an
attorney at Rosen Divorce, says, “Family law is complex in North Carolina and we
want to be sure that everyone, not just those who can afford an attorney,
understands their legal rights and responsibilities, especially with respect to
child support and child custody issues. We often talk to people who don’t
realize that the law provides for immediate spousal support in the case where a
dependent spouse is left with bills to pay and children to feed. Or that hitting
one’s spouse is against the law in North Carolina and that the victim doesn’t
have to press charges in order to get help. The Hispanic community has a right
to this information too and we’re grateful to our community partners for
providing translators to help us get the word out.”
This free community
event is presented by The Wake County Bar Association, The City of Raleigh
Department of Community Services, St. Rafael Catholic Church, The Society For
Hispanic Professionals, El MEXICAN, and El Pueblo.
