Father Gets Sole Custody After Mother Goes MIA
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Sole Custody - Legal and Physical Custody Awarded County: Guilford County A father in Guilford County needed to modify the child custody order for his children. The mother had been absent from the children's lives for about a year now, so he wanted to see about getting sole legal and physical custody of both minor children. He felt it didn't make sense to continue sharing legal and physical custody with the mother even though she was completely missing from the children's lives. So, he met with our Greensboro family law team to discuss his options. Challenges with Getting the Opposing Party Served A big challenge our team faced, in this case, was a procedural one -- getting the other party served. The mother was missing, and they didn't have any contact information for her. Our family law team and our client [...]
Immigration Case Expedited for Urgent Humanitarian Reasons
Our bilingual immigration attorney in Greensboro, Devon Senges, helped a local woman get an expedited immigration process for “urgent humanitarian reasons”. We usually see these expedited processes granted in cases such as a dying spouse with a week to live. Except, in this case, there was no dying spouse. The woman was stuck in Mexico and separated from her husband and children. Devon Senges learned that the woman needing entry to our country was a beloved member of a large church in Pinehurst. The other members of the church were distraught to hear of the immigration roadblock faced by this family. Our Greensboro immigration attorney thought of a plan and orchestrated it beautifully. She provided the pastor of the church with a letter, and specific instructions for the interested church members to sign and provide a copy of their photo ID. Hundreds joined the cause, and the [...]
Father’s Success in Criminal Trial Clears Path to Citizenship
Type of Case: Misdemeanor Assault on a Female, Misdemeanor Child Abuse, and Misdemeanor Destruction of Property Case Result: Dismissed, Not Guilty County: Guilford County Cross-Disciplinary Approach to Criminal Trial Maintains Custody and Path to Citizenship for One Desperate Father Many times, criminal cases can cross over and affect other areas of law such as immigration or family law. When this happens, it is beneficial to choose a law firm with varied experience to advise you while considering all these moving parts. Recently, Dummit Fradin used this cross-disciplinary approach to help a client with multiple misdemeanor charges maintain his path to citizenship. Previous Family Law Issues at Hand Initially, the client approached our Family Law division due to an impending 50-B domestic violence action taken out by his ex-wife. The 50-B would have prohibited our client from seeing his young son, and that was unacceptable to him. With the [...]
50B Dismissed After Successful Negotiations
Type of Case: 50B Domestic Violence Protective Order Case Result: Voluntary Dismissal - 50B Dismissed County: Guilford County Our client's wife filed a 50B, or a Domestic Violence Protective Order, against him. She alleged our client abused both her and her son. Her son was of a previous relationship and was also autistic. Our client and his wife also had a younger son together who's custody schedule would come into question later in his case. The husband explained to our family law team that the autistic son often had violent outbursts. And, because he was a teenager, it could be difficult to calm him down and keep him from hurting himself or others. Because our client is undocumented and currently in the process of gaining United States citizenship, this could have had a significantly negative impact on the outcome of his citizenship. Additionally, his wife had also taken [...]
Victory – Child Custody Modification
A Dummit Fradin family law attorney in Greensboro was successful in arguing a child custody modification/ relocation case, in which her client wanted to relocate to Florida with the parties’ five minor children. The family attorney successfully argued that due to the strong bond between the children and their mother, extended family available as support in Florida and a past history of domestic violence between the parents, it was in the best interest of the children to live in Florida with their mother rather than in North Carolina, where they have lived most of their lives.
Father Wins Joint Legal Custody, Physical Custody
Type of Case: Child Custody Case Result: Joint Legal Custody and Physical Custody Awarded County: Randolph and Buncombe A young family was torn apart when the mother packed up and moved across the state with the youngest child in tow. [The Attorney] figured she could quickly get a custody order if she made up false allegations about domestic violence against the father. Understandably, the father was devastated after not seeing his child for weeks, and now he had to face a heart-wrenching child custody case. If the judge ruled in favor of the mother and granted her requests, he would have restricted rights to his child. This ruling would mean he'd have supervised visitation or extremely limited visitation. Additionally, he faced potentially losing the right to participate in major decisions, such as educational, religious, and medical decisions. He knew he would need someone competent and experienced to represent [...]
Persecuted Pastor from El Salvador Gets Asylum
Type of Case: Asylum Case Result: Asylum Protection Granted Our client was a pastor in El Salvador whose religion strongly believes in the sanctity of all human life. Sadly, our client was the witness to attempted murder in his home country. The would-be criminal was a young gang member. Our client recognized both men and decided to intervene. Yet, a few days later the young man eventually returned to murder his target. The El Salvador National Police approached our client and pressured him to identify the murderer. They told him they would kill the man in retaliation since the victim was the brother of a local police inspector. Our client refused to help the police commit an extrajudicial crime. Thus, he ended up a target himself. The National Police persecuted him for his refusal to cooperate. So, our client decided to seek asylum protection in the United States [...]
