Texas Visitation

Issue: Father was served by Mother with Petition to Modify, seeking to have his visitation supervised.
Result: We defeated Mother and kept visitation as previously ordered.

Issue: Wife contended Husband, who was mentally impaired due to a motor vehicle accident, which resulted in his allegedly being neglectful and abusive, should only get visitation for very short visits supervised by her or an agency.
Result: We hired a neuropsychologist to give expert testimony. Judge awarded Standard Visitation periods, to be assisted by Father's parents.

Issue: When I took over this case from another attorney last year, my client had lost all visitation rights due to a protective order and was faced with owing an arrearage of $30-40,000 plus attorney's fees.
Result: We won custody of the kids, put Mom on supervised visitation, ordered Mom to pay support, erased the entire arrearage judgment, and obtained an award of $11,500.00 attorneys fees against Mom.

Issue: "New Mother Syndome"
Result: Successful defenses against what I call ‘new mother syndrome’, meaning a young first time mother tried to severely restrict or limit the father’s visitation without real cause.

Issue: Dad denied visitation by mother of his child.
Result: Held Mom in contempt for denial of visitation, got all make up time and attorney’s fees paid back to Dad.
