LSNYC leverages its limited resources with a number of pro bono partnerships across all of our practice areas. Bronx Legal Services focuses primarily on the prevention of evictions before the Housing Court and related administrative procedures. The housing unit represents tenants in cases of non-payment and maintenance, termination by NYCHA of rent lawsuits, administrative hearings related to housing subsidies, and proceedings requiring repairs in unsafe conditions. The unit also pursues targeted advocacy and litigation in state and federal courts on behalf of individuals, tenant groups or other entities focused on equitable housing and housing affordability. As part of the Housing Unit`s overall advocacy approach, the practice touches on a variety of related issues, including public benefits, family and foreclosure laws.

I got married in New York in 1984, moved to Alabama and filed for divorce. My husband`s rights were reserved by the court for our son`s visit, which was answered in 2003 to the Brooklyn court for the visit. I would like to know if we are still married in New York State. If so, how do I get a copy of our marriage certificate? I need to see someone, if possible, to take a look at the divorce papers. Your help is greatly appreciated.
