Leving Team Won a Little Boy’s Safe Return Home
By Laura Reichel
There are few things that are more heartbreaking for a father than losing his child and feeling powerless to protect him.
For this dad, that nightmare became real after the mother of his two-year-old son absconded with the boy out of Illinois and to Texas, leaving dad devastated. Desperate to bring his son back home, dad immediately called attorney Jeffery M. Leving for help.
The Leving team fought for him and won.
Attorney Jeffery M. Leving will talk about this high-risk court victory on his weekly radio show, the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour, 9 a.m. – 10 a.m. CDT Saturday, August 8th on Power 92.3 FM.

The show will be available for download on the Dads’ Rights Legal Hour Spotify page at dadsrights.com. Tune in and share this victory by leaving a Google review in support of equal protection and due process everywhere.
Dad was gravely concerned about his son’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, especially after he heard that the house his son was kept in included people with a reported history of domestic violence and criminal activity.
Dad immediately retained the Leving litigation team and they fiercely litigated the case to victory.
Leving immediately filed and argued an emergency petition for the little boy’s return to his father in Illinois. They presented their concerns before the court and made it clear that this was not just a dispute over custody — it was a matter of urgency as the risk to the child’s health, safety, and future was too great to ignore. The judge agreed with their arguments. He ordered the boy be returned to his father and that if the mother refused to comply, dad could enlist the help of law enforcement to retrieve his son. Furthermore, the judge granted dad custody, giving the little boy the protection and stability he so desperately needed.
This court victory modified for publication was a powerful and emotional victory for this father. He refused to give up fighting for his son. Dad put his faith in the Leving team and now his son will have the chance for a better future. It’s a reminder that when a child’s safety is at risk, every moment matters and that every child deserves the protection, love, and security of a parent who will never give up on them.
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.
