Leving team stopped mother from taking dad’s kids out of the country and disappearing

By: Laura Reichel

After the mother of his children told a Chicago dad that he would never see his kids again, the distraught father turned to the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. The Leving team went to court to stop the mother from taking the children out of the country and to alleviate dad’s nightmare of losing his children forever. They won.

Chicago matrimonial attorney Jeffery M. Leving and attorney and Litigation Director Art Kallow of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. will talk about this complex case on the weekly radio show, the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CDT Saturday, August 10th on Power 92.3 FM. This show will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour Spotify page on dadsrights.com.

This dad did the right thing by calling the Leving law firm to make sure the mother couldn’t get on a plane with his children and disappear forever. The Leving team strategically prepared and fiercely litigated the case, asking the judge to stop the mother from fleeing the country with the children. They did a magnificent job litigating and successfully won this high stakes and emotional case.

The result was a huge relief for dad, who was terrified that he would never see his children again. This was a complex and emotional court victory, modified for broadcast, which demonstrated the dedication of the Leving legal team and staff, and their intense focus on their client’s immediate needs. There was no time to waste, and failure was not their option.
