Case #26-0119110

Client seeks representation for a custody hearing scheduled for August 20, 2026, at 9:00 AM before Judge Tiffany Palmer. Client is child’s mother; opposing party is the child’s father, who has an extensive history of abuse towards the client. Father filed to establish custody in January of 2026. Client then filed a complaint for custody in February. A March 2026 temporary order granted Client primary physical custody, and Father partial physical custody on weekends; the parties share legal custody. Client alleges that Father filed out of spite, as he often misses his custodial time and refuses to provide for the child. Client wishes to maintain primary physical custody, and to obtain sole legal custody. A volunteer is needed to represent her at her upcoming hearing.
