Leving Saved Father-Daughter Bond from Being Torn Apart
By Laura Reichel
No father should ever fear losing his child forever. Unfortunately for one Illinois dad, that fear became a reality.
Dad was horrified to learn that the mother of his ten-year-old daughter petitioned the court for an Order of Protection against him, accusing him of abuse, harassment and so much more.
He feared that the Order of Protection could permanently damage his relationship with his daughter and endanger his liberty. Dad turned to attorney Jeffery Leving for help.
The Leving legal team won, protecting dad’s relationship with his daughter, securing overnight visits, and safeguarding his liberty.
Attorney Jeffery M. Leving will talk about this powerful court victory on his weekly radio show, the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. CDT Saturday, October 3rd on Power 92.3 FM. The show will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour Spotify page at dadsrights.com
Dad’s nightmare began after the mother of his child petitioned for an Order of Protection against him. The little girl’s mother accused dad of abusing and harassing the mother and much more. Even worse, the mother included the little girl as a protected party in the petition. These allegations threatened dad’s future with his daughter and his freedom, as violating an Order of Protection is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to one year in jail in Illinois. If dad attempted to even contact his daughter, he could have lost his child, his freedom, and his future.
Desperate, dad called attorney Leving, who assured dad that the Leving litigation team would fight for him.
After a tough battle in court, the Leving team won. The judge awarded dad overnight parenting time with his daughter, protected dad’s ability to remain in his daughter’s life, and there’s no Order of Protection in effect putting dad’s liberty at risk.
This important court victory modified for publication is more than just a legal win. It is a profound step toward protecting a father’s relationship with his daughter and ensuring that she continues to have her father in her life. Dad now has an opportunity to strengthen his loving relationship with his daughter that every child deserves.
Matrimonial Attorney Jeffery M. Leving is the recipient of the 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.
