Safety and shared-device privacy
Use quick-exit, not keeping work after the tab closes and safe-contact guidance for sensitive family situations.
Immediate danger or urgent safety concern
Divorce Law Aid is not an emergency service. Call 911 where appropriate. The New York State Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline offers confidential support 24 hours a day in most languages: 800-942-6906, text 844-997-2121, or use the official live chat.

- Phone, computer, email, cloud, location and browser use may be monitored.
- Quick exit replaces this page, but it cannot erase browser, device or network records.
- Use a safer device and account when possible.
- Do not save or download a plan where another person may find it.
- Choose “Do not keep my work” in Privacy choices for a session that is not kept after this tab closes.
- Consider whether password recovery, notifications, voicemail and shared bills could reveal activity.
Contact choices should remain separate
Before any professional contact, you should be able to choose a safe email, phone number, time, message wording and whether voicemail is safe. Using Divorce Law Aid does not contact another person, lawyer, firm or business.
