Sole Physical & Sole Legal Custody Ordered
The Geller Firm represented a Mother in a child custody case where there were significant concerns about the Father having custody (domestic violence, substance abuse, and a mental health disorder). The father was given multiple opportunities over the course of two years to address the issues, but he did not wish to get any treatment or help. As a result, the court ordered sole legal and sole physical custody to our client. Although it was the right outcome to the protect the children from an unsafe environment, it's unfortunate that the father did not want to change his lifestyle for his children.
