In a case which has attracted world-wide media attention, Omer Tsimhoni today filed for full custody of his children in Michigan court today, Everything PR is the first to report. This case was covered today in the local Detroit media for the extensive social media campaigns surrounding it.
As per his filings, the case states that “the issues of custody and parenting time have been in constant dispute as a result of Plaintiff Mother's refusal to cooperate with Defendant Father and her refusal to effectuate and encourage parenting time with the children and their father. Since the filing for divorce and thereafter, Defendant Father has been diligent in his efforts to maintain a relationship with the children and came to the United States to see the children regularly.”
The filings continue that “Unfortunately, Plaintiff Mother has been a constant roadblock to Defendant Father's relationship with the children, and her campaign began the moment she left Israel and filed for divorce in the United States. Defendant Father has been forced to file numerous motions to enforce the Judgment of Divorce ru1ed to exercise his parenting time as Plaintiff Mother has flatly refused to cooperate or facilitate any relationship between the three minor children ru1d their father, even leaving the country to avoid and obstruct Defendru1t Father's parenting time. Not only has Defendant Father had to file such motions, but the Guardian Ad Litem (GAL) has also had to file motions on behalf of the children to commence visitation with their father when he is in the United States.”
Everything PR has also learned that Maya Tsimhoni has terminated her current attorney, Lisa Stern. We understand she is searching for new representation.
