Protect Your Custody Rights: Avoid Allegations Pitfalls
Are you in the middle of a custody case and worried that some sort of sexual impropriety might come into play? My name is Carl Birkhead, and I’m a child custody attorney with Wirth Law Office. I want to help you make law easy and discuss the importance of maintaining appropriate behavior to ensure that such accusations do not affect your case.
One of the quickest ways I’ve ever seen someone have their visitation or custody rights revoked is when allegations of sexual impropriety arise. It doesn’t necessarily mean you’re facing charges of being a pedophile, but even accusations of inappropriate behavior around children can lead to visitation being revoked. Such allegations can derail a smoothly progressing case almost instantly.
The Impact of Allegations on Custody Proceedings
I’ve come across cases where accusations of sexual impropriety have completely disrupted proceedings. There’s a particular case I heard about a few months ago that illustrates the severity of these situations. During a temporary order hearing, an attorney was questioning his client when she unexpectedly disclosed possession of child pornography. Her lawyer, unaware of this revelation, was so shocked that he walked out of the courtroom in the middle of the trial.
Such incidents underscore the unpredictable and severe impact that allegations can have on custody cases. Allegations of sexual impropriety are dangerous and volatile, requiring careful management. In these situations, one is often treated as guilty until proven innocent, adding a significant burden to the accused party.
Taking Proactive Steps for a Fair Custody Process
If you are concerned that allegations of sexual impropriety might become a factor in your case, it is essential to seek guidance and support. Whether you are directly affected or know someone who might need assistance, it is crucial to handle these allegations with the utmost seriousness and legal strategy.
