Defeats Domestic Violance

OUTCOME: My client was awarded custody of the children. The mother has an order of protection against the father. The father was ordered to complete services he never completed. He has supervised visitation with 4 out of six children.
My client is a mother of 6 children. She was taken in by her pimp at 15 years old after her parents throw her out, she was pimped out before her pimp claimed her as his own. He beat her, severely abu...sed her, forced her to have sex with him, and fathered her six children. While she was pleading for her life, neighbors heard her and called the police. The six children were removed and she was in such fear of him, so defeated by him, she chose to not cooperate and stay loyal to him while her kids stayed in foster care. One day she showed up at my office asking for help getting her kids back. We went through four years of litigation, supervised visits, then unsupervised visits, battered women's services, therapy, and mental health services. She moved with the children through six different shelters because he kept on finding her.
