April is recognized nationwide as Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM)—an annual initiative dedicated to raising public awareness, promoting prevention, and supporting survivors of sexual violence.

Sexual assault is a deeply impactful crime that affects individuals across all demographics. In the United States, nearly half of women and a significant percentage of men report experiencing some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. These experiences often carry long-term emotional, physical, and psychological consequences, underscoring the importance of awareness, education, and access to support systems.

At Ruth Law Office, we recognize the courage it takes for survivors to come forward. We are committed to providing respectful, confidential, and dedicated legal support to individuals navigating these difficult circumstances.
Our responsibilities extend beyond legal representation and include:

* Advocacy: Ensuring survivors’ voices are heard and their rights are protected throughout legal proceedings.
* Guidance: Helping clients understand their legal options, including criminal reporting, civil claims, and protective measures.
* Support: Working in a trauma-informed manner that prioritizes dignity, confidentiality, and respect.
* Pursuit of Justice: Assisting in holding perpetrators accountable and seeking appropriate remedies under the law.

Legal representation can be an essential step in a survivor’s path toward justice and healing.

Custody decisions often come down to one key question: what is in the child’s best interest? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦⚖️ Certain behaviors can quickly damage a parent’s position in a custody case.

Ignoring court orders, missing scheduled visitation, or being consistently unreliable can raise serious concerns with the court. Judges also pay close attention to how parents speak about each other around the child. Negative comments or attempts to create conflict can hurt a custody case.

Substance abuse, unsafe living conditions, or refusing to cooperate in co-parenting responsibilities may also impact custody outcomes. Courts look for parents who demonstrate stability, responsibility, and a willingness to support their child’s well-being. 🏡

Understanding what courts take seriously can help parents protect their custody rights and avoid costly mistakes.

Being an adoption attorney means getting to witness something truly powerful… families being built with intention, love, and courage. 🤍

Adoption isn’t just paperwork it’s the legal creation of a forever bond. It often involves navigating complex steps like background checks, home studies, consent, and court approval to ensure every child is placed into a safe, loving environment. But beyond the legal process… it’s about changing lives. And as an attorney, being trusted to guide families through one of the most emotional and meaningful journeys of their lives is something I never take lightly.

If you’re considering adoption or have questions about the process, Ruth Law Office is here to help you every step of the way.

A lot of parents believe there’s a certain age where a child can decide who they want to live with. The reality is more complex.

Courts may consider your child’s preferences, especially as they get older, but that alone does not determine the outcome. What matters most is the reasoning behind their choice and what truly supports their well-being. ⚖️

Judges look at the full picture. Stability, environment, and the child’s best interest always come first. That means a child’s voice is important, but it is only one part of the decision. 🧩

Understanding how this works can make a big difference in how you approach your case and protect your child’s future.

In custody cases, parental fitness is not about being perfect. In West Virginia, courts focus on whether a parent can consistently meet a child’s daily needs.

Judges may review emotional, physical, and mental health, along with parenting decisions, judgment, and overall stability. Substance use or unsafe behavior may also be considered, but fitness is evaluated in context and over time, not based on isolated mistakes.

Parental fitness is about consistency, reliability, and the ability to support a child’s well-being. Preparing thoughtfully can help present a clear and accurate picture of your parenting 📝

If you have questions about how parental fitness may be evaluated in your custody case, Ruth Law Office is here to help.

In custody cases, the phrase “best interests of the child” carries significant legal weight. In West Virginia, this standard guides every custody decision.

Courts focus on the child’s safety, health, and overall well-being. Judges closely review each parent’s caregiving history, consistency, and ability to provide stability, not personal preferences or what feels fair to one parent 🏡🧠

Custody decisions are made case by case, with the child’s needs placed above all else. Understanding how this standard is applied can help you prepare your case with intention, clarity, and realistic expectations.

If you have questions about how the “best interests of the child” standard may affect your custody case, Ruth Law Office is here to help.

The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS), Bureau for Social Services (BSS), is recognizing April as Family Strengthening and Child Abuse Prevention Month, as proclaimed by Governor Patrick Morrisey, to raise awareness of prevention efforts and encourage parents, communities, and stakeholders to help reduce child abuse and neglect across the state.

DoHS used the opportunity to highlight statewide prevention efforts through initiatives such as the Safety Assessment and Family Evaluation (SAFE) Model, an evidence-based approach implemented within Centralized Intake that supports informed decision-making and helps improve outcomes for children and families. Additionally, CarePortal connects families with community resources to meet immediate needs, and in partnership with Chestnut Mountain Village, will expand with a launch in Taylor County on April 15, further supporting families through community-based partnerships.

“Protecting children starts with supporting families,” said Lorie Bragg, DoHS Commissioner of the Bureau for Social Services. “Through prevention-focused efforts, we are working to identify needs earlier and connect families with meaningful support.”

BSS’s Centralized Intake for Abuse and Neglect Hotline is available 24/7, 365 days a year, to respond to reports of suspected abuse or neglect involving children and vulnerable adults. To report concerns, call 1-800-352-6513.

DoHS also encourages participation in Wear Blue Day on April 3 to raise awareness and show support for child abuse prevention efforts.
