Each case is unique. Here is how Jennifer approaches the challenges families face.
Client had never met his daughter. The opposing party had blocked all contact for several years, and prior legal efforts had been unsuccessful. The emotional and legal stakes were extremely high.
Jennifer immediately petitioned for emergency visitation rights, compiling a strong evidentiary record of the father’s willingness and fitness. She argued the child’s best interests required a relationship with both parents.
Father was granted regular visitation and has maintained an ongoing relationship with his daughter ever since.
