The Public Defender's Office of Minas Gerais (DPMG) has announced that the registration for the 2026 Family Mutirão will close this Friday. This initiative aims to provide alternative methods for conflict resolution in family-related legal matters, fostering dialogue and active participation among the individuals involved. The DPMG emphasizes the importance of community involvement in resolving conflicts that pertain to family decisions.

From March 16 to March 20, the DPMG advocates will assist with various family law issues, including the recognition or dissolution of common-law marriages, divorce proceedings, child custody arrangements, and the establishment of child support and paternity investigations. These sessions can be conducted virtually, in a hybrid format, or in person, depending on the needs of the participants. This flexible approach is intended to accommodate different situations and preferences, ensuring access to necessary legal assistance.

The article also provides contact information and addresses for signing up in different cities, highlighting the availability of in-person registrations on specific days. This initiative underscores the efforts of the DPMG to make legal resources more accessible to families in need, particularly in the context of ongoing societal challenges that may complicate family law matters. It showcases the role of public services in promoting legal rights and social support within communities in Minas Gerais.
