Written by Michael Fayard
Michael represented a respondent in a child custody case involving an emergency motion. The petitioner in the case attempted to change the jurisdiction and custody of the children involved to Florida. Michael filed a motion to dismiss based on the petitioner’s misrepresentations to the court. Michael pointed out the petitioner failed to notify the court of prior custody orders from outside the state. The case was dismissed, and the children were returned to Michael’s client without further court action.
