Parenting Time Upheld
November 17, 2014

Mr. Thomas represented Father. Mother filed a modification petition because of his recent DUI, seeking to reduce Father’s parenting time from equal time to limited, supervised visits, on the allegation that he had a history of alcoholism. Mother’s attorney presented strong evidence of Father’s frequent alcohol purchases using records he had subpoenaed of Husband’s grocery store loyalty card. There were numerous alcohol purchases on an almost daily basis. Mr. Thomas, after a long and heated trial, convinced the skeptical trial judge to keep Father’s parenting time at 50/50. This was an astonishing result, given the mountain of evidence presented by Mother and her attorney.
