Dad Won Justice After Being Blocked From His Sons’ Lives

By Laura Reichel

A desperate father reached out to attorney Jeffery Leving for help after his ex reportedly violated his court-ordered parenting time.

Even though he had the legal right to see and speak with his sons, she refused to allow any contact—cutting him off from his own children.

Fearing he was losing his children forever, this father immediately called for help.

The Leving legal team fought for him and won, securing a court order finding the mother in contempt of court and granting dad attorney’s fees from the mother. Violation of this court order can result in jail time for the mother.

Chicago based matrimonial attorney Jeffery Leving, President of the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd., will talk about this important court victory on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9-10 a.m. CDT Saturday, March 21st on Power 92.3 FM. This show segment will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour’s Spotify page on dadsrights.com. Listen to this radio show to follow Leving’s fight to reunite children and fathers everywhere and share this victory and connect on Instagram @dadsrights.

Dad’s ex began refusing to allow him to see his children during his scheduled parenting time. Furthermore, she reportedly refused to facilitate telephonic contact between dad and his children despite this being a court ordered requirement. Concerned and desperate to see his children, dad immediately contacted attorney Leving for help to enforce his parenting time and protect his bond with his children. 

The Leving team immediately took action, determined to show the court how the mother’s reported interference defied its court order, and damaged the children’s bond with their father. They presented clear, compelling evidence of her alleged obstruction – denied calls and a pattern of disregard for the court ordered parenting schedule. They won. The judge found the mother in contempt of court for her violations and ordered her to pay the father’s attorney’s fees—ensuring that this concerned dad would not be burdened with financial strain after already fighting to see his own children.

This court victory modified for publication protected dad’s parental rights, his precious bond with his sons, and safeguarded him from a financial burden. A loving father should never have to fight to be part of his children’s lives, but if they need to do so, the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving Ltd. is ready to help.

Matrimonial attorney Jeffery M. Leving is the recipient of the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from President Joe R. Biden, Jr. in recognition of 7,500 hours of Leving’s service to this nation. Leving is also the recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award from President George W. Bush. Leving is a nationally recognized matrimonial and family law attorney.
