An individual reached out to our Family Law Team after their ex-partner filed for divorce and custody of their child. While the ex-couple had a child together, they were never married.
The child's safety was at the forefront of this case. Our client endured an abusive relationship with their ex-partner who also had a substance abuse problem.
The court recognized what was at stake in this case and awarded our client sole decision-making, primary parenting time, and child support. We also successfully defended against the unfounded marriage claims.
