Standing with Miami-Dade families since 2000

Every family deserves a chance to heal.

In high-conflict family court cases, kids need more than a legal outcome. We fund the critical services that help the whole family heal — together.

Why KidSide

Every family deserves a path forward.

Judges rely on Family Court Services to help families find a path forward, often recommending essential services provided by licensed professionals in the community. For families facing financial hardship, accessing these services can be challenging. KidSide helps bridge that gap, funding critical services so children and families can receive the support they need to heal, reconnect, and move forward.

  • Remove financial barriers to court-ordered care
  • Help families heal, reconnect and move forward
  • Funds go directly to FCS-coordinated providers

How KidSide works

From a court order to real care, without the wait.

Your gift moves through a simple, accountable path, straight to the licensed providers families are referred to.

1

A judge orders care

In a high-conflict case, the court orders services like therapy, evaluations or supervised visits.

2

Family Court Services refers

FCS identifies families who cannot afford the care and connects them with a licensed provider.

3

KidSide pays the provider

Your gift covers the cost directly, so care can start now instead of after a long waitlist.

Watch their story

Behind every court case is a child hoping to be seen, heard, and safe.
