Disclaimers
D.I.K. points you toward help. It doesn't replace a lawyer, a doctor, or the agency that runs a program.
Not legal advice
Information on D.I.K. is general information, not legal advice. Laws about divorce, custody, and child support vary by state and county and change over time, and every family's situation is different. For advice about your situation, talk with a licensed attorney in your state or a legal aid organization.
No attorney-client relationship
Using this site, emailing us, or submitting a suggestion does not create an attorney-client relationship or any other professional relationship. Please don't send us confidential details about a legal case.
Not medical or mental health advice
Nothing on D.I.K. is medical, mental health, or nutritional advice, and it is not a substitute for care from a qualified professional. If you have concerns about your health or your child's health, contact a doctor, nurse line, or licensed counselor.
Not financial advice
Information about benefits, budgeting, or financial aid is general and is not financial, tax, or investment advice.
No endorsement
Listing an organization, program, or website on D.I.K. does not mean we endorse it, are affiliated with it, or guarantee its services. We are not responsible for the content or practices of other websites.
Information can change, so check the official source
We work hard to keep listings accurate. Each one shows where the information came from and the date we last checked it. Programs, phone numbers, hours, and rules can change without notice, though. Always confirm details directly with the official source before you rely on them. If you find something out of date, please tell us at [email protected].
Resources we haven't verified are not shown.
Eligibility is decided by the agency
Eligibility notes on this site are summaries to help you decide where to start. Only the agency or organization that runs a program can decide whether you qualify. A match in our finder is not a promise that you will receive a benefit or service.
In a crisis
D.I.K. is not a crisis service, and we can't respond to emergencies.
