A four-year-old girl, severely malnourished, was found dead in a dirty Brooklyn apartment. There was evidence that she had been tied to her bed, New York Family Lawyers have learned.
The little girl weighed a scant 15 pounds. The bruises and marks on her ankles were indications that she had been tied with twine, police sources told a New York Family Lawyer. The cause of the child’s death is currently unknown, leaving police unsure if the case is one of horrific neglect or merely the tragic end of a child who had never been very healthy to begin with.
The Administration for Children’s Services had hired an outside agency to help the family, who was having trouble caring for the girl, but according to a New York Family Lawyer, the organization had failed to live up to its obligations. “My wife is a wonderful mother. I’ve never seen her hurt her kids,” said the girl’s father, 30, who is currently separated. “It’s hard for me to believe she would do anything like that.”
The girl was born prematurely, weighing not much more than a pound. She had spent almost her entirely life in hospitals. “She was beautiful, smart, and very playful,” the father said. He also said he knew nothing about his daughter being tied down.

In what may seem to be a strange twist of legal interpretation, a Texas court of appeals has ruled that gay couples who were legally married in other states, where gay marriage is legal, may not divorce in Texas – a state where gay marriage is not recognized by the law, according to a New York Family Lawyer.
The 5th Texas Court of Appeleas made the ruling, which stated that a Dallas judge did not have jurisdiction to grant a divorce to two men who lived in Dallas, but were married in Massachusetts, said a New York Family Lawyer.
The same judge also made the ruling that Texas could not limit marriage to being only between a man and a woman. The appeals court disagreed, saying that the Texas laws against same-sex marriage do not violate the Constitution.
The Dallas couple, who are only known by aliases in their court filings, were married in 2006 in Massachusetts, but were separated two years later. The attorney for one of the men told a New York Family Lawyer they had not yet decided if they were going to make an appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.

Michael Lohan, father of Lindsey Lohan, recently announced he wants financial control of the assets of both of his daughters, a move which the girls’ mother firmly opposes, sources told a New York Family Lawyer. According to Mr. Lohan, he feels compelled to take financial control of his daughters, Lindsay and Ali, because they are out of control and need his help.
Unfortunately, Mr. Lohan has spent his own time in both rehab and jail. He claims he must have a hand in his daughter’s financial affairs so she can avoid taking the path of so many other celebrities who have ruined their lives through drugs. “Michael is not going to stand idly by as his daughter becomes another Hollywood statistic,” New York Family Lawyers learned from his lawyer.
Lindsay’s mother, sister, and Lindsey herself were very upset after Michael sent Los Angeles County sheriffs to Lindsey’s home in order to check the status of her younger sister. The police could find no evidence of abuse.
Sources tell New York Family Lawyers that Michael Lohan said, “If Dina wants to persist with the lies, denials, and false accusations, I will release every one of the over 100 tapes I have of her.” The father cited how Britney Spears’ parents took a conservatorship role over their daughter’s financial life as she struggled with emotional and substance abuse issues.

If you find yourself in such a position, you can protect your interests with the help of a New York Family Attorney.
