Family

When an Orange County baby sitter sued a bisexual father for guardianship of his non-biological son, our attorneys stepped in and successfully argued that he was a good father.

CONTESTED GUARDIANSHIP IN ORANGE COUNTY DISMISSED

- Ultimately, the babysitter L.H. voluntarily dismissed her case against Thomas P. for custody of his son, T.. If you recall, Ms. H. was the babysitter of the minor in this case, and sought custody worried about "the effect of the gay lifestyle" on the child. The Petitioner also objected to an adult website run by Mr. P.. There was no evidence that T. was ever exposed to the website, and his father believes the injection of the website into the court documents was a red herring calculated to prejudice the court.

- Attorney Reba Birmingham stated that the turning point in the case was the court's ruling Friday rejecting Ms. H. attempt to force DNA testing on the minor and his father. Thomas P. lost his job and home over this protracted court battle, and is looking forward to putting his life back together. T. is just glad "all this stuff" has stopped, and remains a happy healthy child.
