RESULTS: Winning Justice in a Complex Divorce Case for a Devoted Mother

At Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys , we take pride in standing by our clients – even when the odds are stacked against them. This was especially true for a courageous young mother navigating one of the most challenging times of her life.

Case Overview: From Crisis to Triumph

Our client, a 32-year-old mother of two, came to us at one of the lowest points in her life. She had been arrested and charged with felony injury to a child after an officer suspected her 4-year-old son had been bruised during a confrontation with her husband over his infidelity.

To make matters worse, CPS was investigating her as a potential danger to her children, and she was barred from contact with both her children and her alcoholic husband for 60 days.

Despite these dire circumstances, she found an ally in our firm. We knew the path ahead would be difficult, but we immediately rolled up our sleeves, strategizing to fight multiple battles at once in criminal court, family court, and against CPS.

Legal Strategies That Made a Difference

Abilene family law attorney Matt Zimmerman deployed a comprehensive strategy to protect our client’s rights, her reputation, and her children.

• Criminal Defense: We aggressively fought the felony charges. Thanks to diligent preparation and rare testimony from our client before the grand jury, the charges were dropped.
• CPS Findings Reversed: Through tireless investigation and evidence presentation, we successfully overturned CPS’s findings that suggested our client had harmed her child.
• Family Court Advocacy: Simultaneously, we fought for her rights in family court. Within two months, we secured her children’s return as their primary caregiver and initiated child support payments from her husband.
• Divorce Settlement Victory: At the final hearing, Attorney Zimmerman achieved a resounding victory, granting our client the family home, all its contents, child support, and 18 months of post-divorce maintenance payments.

The Road to Justice

This was a complicated and emotional case that required exceptional legal skill and unwavering dedication. Over a two-year period, we left no stone unturned, fighting tirelessly in multiple courts to rebuild our client’s life and protect her future.

• Within 2 months: Custody of her children was restored, and child support payments were secured.
• Within a year: The felony charges were “no-billed,” clearing her criminal record.
• Within 2 years: CPS reversed its findings, and the divorce case ended with a significant win for our client.

At the final hearing, we secured her family’s future. She received full ownership of the house, child support, and additional maintenance payments for 18 months.
