Ms. G, a young single mother, retained Cantor Law Group to assist her with her attempts to protect her young daughter from the negative effects of her abusive, irresponsible father (Mr. H). After a consultation with Attorney Alyson Foster, Ms. G and Ms. Foster determined the best strategy to protect her daughter was to file for a termination of Mr. H’s parental rights so that he could no longer use the court system as an avenue through which to harass Ms. G and her child. As an individual, Ms. G faced an uphill battle attempting to terminate the father’s rights because most termination actions are initiated by CPS or another state entity and because Mr. H was provided with an attorney for which he was not required to contribute financially. Ms. G and her parents (who often assisted Ms. G with the raising of her child due to Mr. H’s failure to support his child), knew in their hearts that the child would suffer physically and emotionally if Mr. H’s rights were not terminated by the courts. As part of the process, Ms. G and Ms. Foster were met by continued road blocks from father’s appointed attorney; however, Ms. G prevailed at the time of trial and Mr. H’s parental rights were terminated. After the ruling was issued, Mr. H was appointed yet another free attorney, who attempted to appeal the termination ruling. Ms. G again utilized the services of Cantor Law Group and Ms. Foster and the appeal was ultimately dismissed by the Court of Appeals. Now Ms. G and her daughter are free from the harassment and abuse they previously suffered at the hands of Mr. H and they no longer have to worry about any future attempts by Mr. H to obtain custody or parenting time rights.
