In 1996 I told my ex-husband (Tom Spurlock) I wanted a divorce; it was a hard decision, but I knew I had to do it. I was not physically abused- but I was mentally/emotionally abused. We had 3 children, they were starting to treat me the same as he did. I knew I could not allow them to find this acc...eptable-2 of them we’re little girls- I was especially concerned for them- they were 9 and 13. I could not let them think this was how a man should treat a woman. I was not going to have any part in my son(11) thinking it alright to treat women this way. Tom figured I didn’t have the money to hire a lawyer and he had plenty. A friend of mines dad worked with Darryl, she set it up for us to meet. After explaining the situation to him he agreed to take omy case “ Pro-Bono. It was a messy divorce- one factor that played into it was the custody of the 3 children. The 2 oldest were adopted by Tom- the 3rd was our child together. I was requesting full custody of my oldest daughter- (Tom and her did not have a good relationship at that time), I regretfully was willing to allow Tom to have full custody of my son - I thought if I did this Tom would be nicer to all of us- I will regret that for the rest of my life. I wanted shared custody of our daughter. N we had t try o go through a separate hearing because of the custody issues.finally after several motions back and forth between the two lawyers, custody was awarded as I requested. Thinking Tom would be nicer to myself and the children - it didn’t happen that way- so more motions were presented- finally it was done. I did not have to pay anything to Darryl- Tom Spurlock was presented with the bill- as it should be. After a few years passed my son decided he no longer wanted to live with Tom-Darryl once again did want was needed to make this happen, again it was not easy- but he had my sons best interest moving forward. I would highly recommend Mr. Darryl Thompson to anyone needing to have faith that he will do the best job for you and your needs.
