Barry T Ward’s Notable Cases
Attorney Barry T. Ward has litigated a significant number of family legal matters, ranging from paternity disputes, to complex divorce cases, and custody battles throughout his years of practice. In addition to his comprehensive litigation experience, he has been able to successfully negotiate on behalf of many clients to gain very favorable results rather than pursue an unnecessary court proceeding.
Creative Solution in Child Custody
A very creative negotiation allowed both parties to move on with their lives in a positive way. Each was able to maintain or purchase a residence and the children were not totally devastated by the divorce because the stress was not as great as it would have been in a litigated matter.
Contested Child Custody
Mr. Ward represented the father in a custody dispute that involved false allegations by the mother of domestic violence. The dispute resulted in the father gaining physical custody of his minor son after an extensive trial that included psychologists and doctors supporting the opposition’s contentions. At the end of trial, the father was able to move back in to the family residence with his son.
Mr. Ward handled a custody battle spanning more than one year that involved minor's counsel, family evaluators, and the court system, which resulted in orders most favorable to his client.
Litigation of Other Issues
Mr. Ward successfully defended his client at trial on the issue of “fatherhood by estoppel.” In this case, the biological father was attempting to have the ex-stepfather (Mr. Ward’s client) pay the child support. Mr. Ward prevailed and the court held the biological father responsible for the support payments.
Mr. Ward litigated at the trial court level and succeeded in having the opposition’s request for annulment denied after several days of litigation. The matter was appealed and Mr. Ward argued before the appellate court. Mr Ward recently won the appeal.
