Zoe Tillman of Legal Times reports on the suit filed on behalf of two fathers by Children's Law Center and Arnold & Porter. Partnering with the Children's Law Center, Arnold & Porter retired partner Jack Lipson filed the lawsuit Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Lipson said the firm has a longstanding and "great relationship" with the Children's Law Center.
“We recruited them as pro bono co-counsel,” CLC Executive Director Judith Sandalow said. “They have great federal litigation expertise.”
The lawsuit centers on the experiences of two men who live in Prince George’s County, Md., and share custody of minor children with mothers who live in the District. According to the complaint, the minor children were placed into foster care after being removed from the custody of their mothers, over objections from the fathers.
