Parenting Dispute Moved Successfully to Juvenile Court

Recently we were able to assist a client who was involved in a dispute with the mother of his child - which resulted in charges in a municipal court against our client (which were handled by a lawyer other than us).

We were able (after the municipal court case was over) to get the municipal court to relinquish any jurisdiction over the “parenting” issues our client and the mother had.

The mother would have preferred that the municipal court have jurisdiction over these parenting issues – but we argued that the Juvenile Court (and the Juvenile Court alone) had the proper jurisdiction on these issues.

We are now working on the parenting issues in the Juvenile Court.
