Congratulations to Dava Greenberg-Spindler and Kirk Pittard who won a family law case yesterday in the Fort Worth Court of Appeals. Dava and Kirk represented the parents of a child. The child’s grandparents filed a suit affecting the parent-child relationship (SAPCR) seeking managing conservatorship over the child. Dava and Kirk successfully convinced the court of appeals that the grandparents did not have standing to file the SAPCR because they did not have actual care and control over the child for the statutory required six months. Therefore, the child gets to stay with her mother and father. You can read the opinion here.
