Judith Sandalow is the executive director of the Children’s Law Center, which provides legal services on behalf of at-risk children and their families.

She recently filed a lawsuit on behalf of two fathers against the District of Columbia and a child welfare agency alleging infringement on the rights of children and their parents – who live outside of D.C. – to live together.

These fathers were denied access to their children even though their kids were removed from their mothers’ care because of neglect and put in foster care.

Sandalow talked with DadsDivorce.com editor Matt Allen about this lawsuit and why these fathers rights were ignored.
