Carroll County Decision Reversed on Appeal

Erb Legal recently assisted a mother in a convoluted custody case involving co-parents, stepparents, multiple court jurisdictions, and allegations of abuse. In this case, the Carroll County Court of Common Pleas issued a default judgment against the mother and awarded damages to the other parties. Believing the decision to be incorrect, attorney Thomas Erb argued that the default judgment and the resulting orders were invalid. The Court of Appeals sided with Erb and the mother's argument, reversing the previous decision.
