Single Mom Wronged - Parenting Rights Restored

Leading family law attorney Andrey Filipowicz from the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving finally brought justice to a single mother who hasn't had visitation with her three children since the summer of 2014.

Leading family law attorney Andrey Filipowicz from the Law Offices of Jeffery M. Leving finally brought justice to a single mother who hasn’t had visitation with her three children since the summer of 2014. The mother’s parenting time was unfairly suspended without a court order by the parenting coordinator because the mother did not want to take an invasive psychological test. The parenting coordinator unjustly used her refusal to essentially take away the mother’s kids by suspending her parenting time.

“This was a parent that needed our help. We don’t discriminate just because society can. Our mission is to help and protect victims. That’s all victims everywhere,” said attorney Jeffery M. Leving.

The struggling mother turned to the Leving firm for help to fight this injustice and reunite her with her kids. Failure was not an option. Leading matrimonial attorney Filipowicz addressed the credibility of the opposing side’s expert witness on cross examination. Judge Vega found that the mother was not a risk to her three young children and ruled that it was wrong for the parenting coordinator to suspend her visitation rights. Now, the mother’s parenting rights are re-established, and she and her children can finally have a happy holiday season that they longed to have together for years.
