Leving Firm Matrimonial Law Seminar: Parental Responsibilities for Non-Parents

The Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. will host the next presentation of the Arthur S. Kallow Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Seminar Series on July 17th at 6:30 p.m. CDT at 19 S. LaSalle St. in Chicago.
The keynote CLE speaker, matrimonial and family law attorney Michael Ochoa, who has been awarded the Best International Custody Lawyer Award, will be presenting on parental responsibilities for non-parents.
As Mr. Ochoa, a brilliant and seasoned attorney will explain, Illinois law allows non-parents an allocation of parental responsibilities in the same capacity as parents in certain specific circumstances.
Under the law, provided that certain requirements are met,any person – including stepparents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and other long-term caretakers of children – can get majority parenting time and sole decision-making authority of any child, whether that person is related to the child or not, if it is in the best interests of the child.

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