Mission Jethro uses community, technology, and education to make family courts fairer — so cases turn on the merits and the child's best interest, not on who can afford a lawyer. We serve pro se parents facing these systems without representation. What Jethro is A nonprofit access-to-justice community — not a law firm. Jethro provides legal education, plain-language tools, and a community of parents who've stood where you're standing. Licensed attorneys handle case-specific advice and representation; we help you find them when you need them. How Jethro helps Join the community. Connect one-on-one and in groups with parents who've been through custody, visitation, and support cases. Nobody understands your situation like someone who's lived it. Members share their experiences — what they faced, what they filed, how they prepared. Understand the law. Clear, plain-language explanations of the rules and decisions that apply to your kind of case — and what your next step is. Learn the process. Guides and workshops that walk you through each stage, so you show up prepared and confident. Get connected. When you need case-specific advice or representation, we point you to licensed attorneys. Who we serve Parents representing themselves in custody, visitation, divorce, paternity, and child-support cases — and the attorneys and advocates who support them. How it works 1. Join free and tell us your situation — a few guided questions. 2. Get matched with education and tools that fit your stage — and with community members who've walked the same road. 3. Prepare with support. Use our guides, learn from peers, and connect with a licensed attorney when your case needs one. Join the community — free Built by someone who's been in your shoes When another driver totaled my car and every attorney turned the case down, I learned the hard truth pro se litigants know: if you can't afford representation, you're on your own. So I learned the law, documented everything, argued my own case at trial in Fairfax County — and won every dollar. No one could have told my story better than I could. That's the lesson behind Jethro. The system is navigable — but no one should have to figure it out alone. For a parent in family court, the stakes aren't dollars; they're your kids. Jethro exists so the next parent walks in prepared, informed, and backed by people who've been there. — Antwain Cross, Founder FAQ Is this legal advice? No. Jethro provides legal information and education — not legal advice or representation. Community members share their own experiences, not advice. For advice about your specific case, we'll help you connect with a licensed attorney. Does it cost anything? Core membership, information, and education are free. Some services may carry a nominal fee, with help available for those who can't pay. Who can join? Any parent representing themselves in a family-court matter — mothers and fathers alike. Attorneys and advocates who support pro se parents are welcome too. Is what I share private? The community is members-only. What you post is visible to other members, so share thoughtfully — and never post anything you wouldn't want the other party to read. What happens after I answer the guided questions? You get a plain-language overview of the rules that typically apply to situations like yours, suggested next steps, matching guides and workshops, and community spaces with parents in similar cases. Which states do you cover? Our education explains general principles and points you to your state's specific rules. State-specific guides are rolling out.
