“Dave”, a father, reached out to Legal Aid to seek custody of his child, because the child’s mother was struggling with substance abuse. Legal Aid helped him secure full custody of the child, and recognizing the undeniable love the mother had for the child, a parental visitation plan was established with increased parental time as long as she could maintain her sobriety and treatment. A social worker at Legal Aid supported the visitation by arranging for a car seat to avoid transportation barriers and ensure the safety of the child. Both parents received co-parenting guidance, empowering them to navigate their new roles as parents, while prioritizing their child’s well-being.
