Father Seeks Court’s Intervention to Baptize Child

Sept. 3, 2010 - PRLog -- CHICAGO – Leving will seek to secure court approval for his client, Victor Sarmiento, to baptize his child in the Catholic faith on Thursday, September 9 before Judge Nega at 9:30am at the Richard Daley Center in Chicago in courtroom #1603.

Victor Sarmiento, military veteran and dedicated father, is now one step away from obtaining the religious freedom to baptize his three-year-old son.  Victor Sarmiento is a practicing Catholic and court documents report his soon-to-be ex-wife, Lizette, forbids their child to be baptized in the Catholic Church.

“This will likely to be the final court date.  I feel very confident that we have a strong legal position,” said Leving.

Sarmiento, who attends the Nativity of Our Lord Catholic Church in Chicago, said, “I just want my son to be a part of the community of values that are taught in Catholic Church and baptism is the first step.”

Sarmiento is appearing in court out of great concern for his son’s religious upbringing. Fathers’ Right Attorney Jeffery M. Leving (http://dadsrights.com), who represents Mr. Sarmiento said, “It is important to succeed in court on the critical issue of religious freedom.”

Fathers’ rights advocate and attorney Jeffery M. Leving and his team of attorneys have launched an Interfaith Mediation Initiative created to support parents and families engaged in interfaith custody battles.  Leving, in collaboration with attorneys James Hagler, Jenet Pequeño and Psychotherapist Dr. Karl Schmitt will provide mediation in high-conflict interfaith custody cases.
