Leving Rescued Dad’s Daughter from Reported Violent Home and Gave Her Hope

By Laura Reichel

A frantic father turned to attorney Jeffery M. Leving to protect his daughter after her stepfather had reportedly struck her in the face.

Dad wanted to bring his daughter back home, where he could protect her, support her education, and give her the stability she desperately needed.

The Leving legal team fought for him and won, helping this father provide his daughter with a safe home and the opportunity for a bright future.

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 17th on Power 92.3 FM.

Dad was desperate to rescue his daughter from what he feared to be an unsafe and violent environment. Dad also learned that his daughter was struggling in school. For this father, his goal was clear: his daughter needed to be safe. She needed a home where her education mattered, where she could receive support, and where she could begin looking toward her future with hope not fear. Dad was ready to provide that home, and he turned to attorney Leving to help make it possible.

Leving gave dad the hope and strength he needed to fight for his daughter. The Leving team litigated on behalf of this father and his daughter. They argued to the court that his daughter needed to be removed from her reported unsafe environment and dad could provide her with a loving and safe home. The Leving team remained focused on her safety and the opportunity for her to thrive in her father’s care.

They won. Dad’s daughter is now living with him. Her future holds limitless new possibilities now, and her father can be there to help her pursue them.

This court victory modified for publication is a reminder of why strong, determined advocacy matters. When a father fears for his child’s safety, the stakes extend far beyond the courtroom. They reach into the child’s home, education, and future. For dad, this result was much more than having his daughter live with him. It was about knowing she was safe, being able to protect her and giving her the chance to not only dream again but to also live her life without fear.

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.
