Leving team’s court victory protected dad’s daughters from reported danger
By: Laura Reichel
A desperate father, who hadn’t seen his young daughters for far too long, feared for their safety and called attorney Jeffery Leving for help in protecting them from danger.
The Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. fought to protect dad’s little girls and for this father’s right to be with his children.
After a hard-fought court battle, the Leving legal team won and brought the girls back to their father and the safety of his home.
Chicago matrimonial attorney Jeffery Leving, President of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. will talk about this important case and more on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CDT Saturday, June 14th on Power 92.3 FM.
This show segment will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour Spotify page on dadsrights.com. Listen to this radio show and keep hope alive by sharing this victory and connecting on Instagram@dadsrights.
Dad and the mother lived together with their two daughters, ages seven and ten, until the mother reportedly left to live with her new boyfriend. She took the little girls with her and refused to let dad see them. Fearing he would not be able to protect his daughters and never see them again, dad reached out to attorney Leving for help.
The judge appointed a guardian ad litem (GAL) to investigate the situation. The GAL reported to the court that the mother’s boyfriend kept a pistol with live ammunition in his home, within easy reach of the children. Furthermore, the boyfriend ‘s home was home to many aggressive dogs, one of which had already attacked and injured one of dad’s little girls.
In contrast, dad had always been the girls’ primary caretaker and had provided them with a stable, loving home.
Thanks to the fearless advocacy of the Leving team, who battled against a resisting and difficult adverse party and fought against counter claims, the judge granted dad primary residential placement, and the girls went back to living with their father.
This is a tremendous victory, modified for publication, that protected two little girls from a potentially dangerous living situation. Dad was reunited with his daughters and can rest easy knowing that his children are safe at home.
