Our client was being accused by an ex-spouse of poor parenting–even rising to claims of neglect and enabling–for a special-needs child. The accusatory ex-spouse was a decorated professional with an educational background that appeared on its face to be well-suited to the special-needs child’s struggles. However, that ex-spouse was also prone to skepticism, anger, and aggression with our client. Because of our client’s ability to always put the child first and stand firm against the power displayed by her ex, we were able to demonstrate her care and support for her child, her well-reasoned decisions, and even her ability to foster a relationship with her aggressive ex for the sake of her child. After a contested court trial, we secured a very favorable parenting time result and order.
