Leving Legal Team Wins for Father and Son

By Laura Reichel

The Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving, Ltd. secured a hard-fought and powerful court victory for a devoted father and his young son after the child’s mother was reported to have repeatedly failed to pay her court ordered child support and her share of medical expenses for their son.

Determined to protect the boy’s well-being and stability, dad called attorney Jeffery Leving for help.

he Leving team fought and won, ensuring that this young boy would receive the financial support he deserves and needs.

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, May 23rd 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 Leving’s radio show and follow his fight for justice and equal protection everywhere and connect with him on Instagram @dadsrights.

When dad called Leving, he was frustrated and under serious financial strain. He reported that despite a clear court order, the mother continued to ignore her responsibilities.

Concerned that her actions were deliberate and causing ongoing hardship for both him and his son, dad fought for his son. The Leving team provided dad with the support he needed to take action.

They moved decisively to file a petition to hold the mother in contempt of court to move the case in the right direction toward victory. Failure was not an option.  

The evidence was clear to Leving: the mother had not only reportedly failed to pay child support but also refused to reimburse her share of essential expenses. Her actions appeared harmful to both dad and his son.

In court, the Leving team demonstrated a clear and ongoing pattern of noncompliance and argued that her conduct rose to the level of contempt. The judge agreed.

The mother was found in indirect civil contempt for failing to meet her obligations and was ordered to pay the full amount of her outstanding child support arrearages and expenses, and to continue paying future child support and expenses.

This court victory modified for publication was much more than enforcing financial obligations — it was about protecting a child’s well-being and future and ensuring that a loving father receives the resources needed to raise his son in a financially stable and secure environment.

Thanks to the Leving team’s strategic arguments and persistence, a little boy will now have the support he needs and both dad and his son have the justice they deserve.

Matrimonial Attorney Jeffery M. Leving is the recipient of the U.S. Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award from the President of the United States in recognition of his 7,500 hours of service to this great nation. Leving co-authored the foundational Illinois joint custody law and has dedicated his career to safeguarding children and reuniting them with their fathers.
