Mother seeks representation for a custody hearing scheduled for September 11, 2026, at 9 AM in front of Judge Ourania Papademetriou regarding her three sons, ages 8, 16, and 17 –years-old. The opposing party is the children’s father. The children have a blood disorder, and client alleges that the opposing party did not care for their medical needs while they were in his custody. Client was granted a Protection from Abuse Order against the opposing party in 2023, but it expired this year. The current temporary custody order from June 2026 grants client sole legal and primary physical custody of the children, while the opposing party has a supervised visit on the third Saturday of each month. Before this custody order, the children hadn’t seen the opposing party since 2018. The opposing party filed for shared physical and shared legal custody of the children in 2021. The opposing party is represented. Client’s goal is to retain sole legal and primary physical custody of the children. A volunteer is needed to represent client at the upcoming hearing.
