(FORT PIERCE, Fla)- Fort Pierce is a community filled with rich history and strong family bonds, but many seniors face unique challenges that demand legal support and advocacy.
At Florida Rural Legal Services, we are committed to assisting our seniors with various legal matters, including grandparents' rights, custody, and access to essential benefits. Grandparents have the right to retain visitation or seek custody/guardianship of their grandchildren in certain circumstances. Our legal team supports grandparents in maintaining valuable family ties and ensuring the well-being of their grandchildren.
Raising grandchildren can be financially challenging. Our legal aid helps grandparents access benefits such as SNAP, child support, Medicaid, and school enrollment or special education services for their grandchildren.
Every senior deserves a safe and secure home. We defend seniors' rights against housing discrimination based on disability, ensuring they have access to suitable accommodations.
At FRLS, we are dedicated to empowering seniors by providing support and legal assistance. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive community where seniors' rights are protected and upheld.
