Leving team frees duped dad from paying child support for another man’s child

The Leving legal team won an important case for a man who was ordered to pay child support for a little girl who was not even his biological child. The client and the mother were never married.

The mother misled the client to believe he was the little girl’s father, and she obtained a court order for child support against him.

Years later the man learned that he was not, in fact, the biological father of the child, but he was still forced to pay child support to the mother or risk violating a court order and possible incarceration.

Attorney and Litigation Director Art Kallow of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. will talk about this father’s child support case on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CDT Saturday, April 27th, on Power 92.3 FM and on power92chicago.com.

The duped dad was upset that he was court ordered to pay child support to the mother of a child that he learned was not his. Immediately, he contacted the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd., for help and was assured that they could help, and they did. They won for him.

 

The Leving team immediately met with the client and explained exactly how they would help him. The team got to work right away fighting for their client’s rights and filed a Petition to Vacate the Voluntary Acknowledgement of Paternity. After fiercely litigating their client’s case, the court agreed with the team, determined that their client was not the biological father of the child, and eliminated their client’s entire child support obligation and all his child support arrears.

“This court victory, modified for publication, was a battle worth fighting.” Jeffery Leving says, “We protected the rights of this duped dad, who was unjustly caught up in the family law system.”

Attorney Arthur S. Kallow 

Attorney Arthur S. Kallow was honored for his valuable contribution to the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County as a court facilitator. Kallow was selected as an Illinois Super Lawyer. Super Lawyers are considered the best in their profession, and they represent the top practicing attorneys in Illinois and the country. Attorney Kallow also received a significant award for his valuable contribution to the Domestic Relations Division of the Circuit Court of Cook County as a court facilitator. 

The Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd.

Matrimonial attorney Jeffery M. Leving is the recipient of President Biden’s 2023 Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award. In addition, the Illinois House of Representatives has honored Leving “for his work in safeguarding the rights of fathers and protecting the welfare of children and families in this State,” and the Illinois Senate has issued a proclamation recognizing his efforts on behalf of fathers.

Leving 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 the late Cardinal Francis E. George, then the archbishop of Chicago.
