Leving Firm fights to keep father and children together

Dad’s two children, a 12-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl, had been kept from him following the death of their mother.

Reportedly, Dad and the mother were never married, but they had an informal agreement where Dad would have his children on alternate weekends, and he paid child support.

After the mother’s death, her relatives reportedly refused to turn over the children to their father. They claimed the father was not involved in his children’s lives.

Attorney Jeffery Leving, founder and president of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. in Chicago will talk about this father’s case on his weekly radio show, the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CDT Saturday, March 23, on Power 92.3 FM in Chicago and on power92chicago.com.

Dad had called the Leving firm for help and they fought for him and his children. The judge ruled in Dad’s favor. Dad and his children were finally together again. But the relatives didn’t stop fighting.

 

Once again, Dad and his children found themselves reliving a nightmare – they were at risk of being separated from each other again.

The children’s maternal relatives refused to stop and proceeded to court again seeking the children again. Once again, the Leving team skillfully litigated the case in court and fought for Dad and his rights as a father. They won and the judge denied the relatives’ request for the children. Dad and his children were relieved knowing they would stay together where they belonged– in Dad’s home.

“This is a victory, modified for broadcast, in a battle we had to fight.” Leving says, “Safeguarding fathers and children is what we do, and I’m proud of our success and the great job we did for this dedicated family.”

Attorney Jeffery M. Leving is the recipient of President Biden’s 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award.

Leving, who has dedicated his career to safeguarding children and reuniting them with their fathers, has written three acclaimed books: “Fathers’ Rights,” “Divorce Wars” and “How to be a Good Divorced Dad,” the latter of which was praised by President Obama and by Cardinal Francis E. George, then the Archbishop of Chicago. Follow Jeffery M. Leving on Facebook and X @DadsRights.
