The Suit Affecting the Parent-Child Relationship (SAPCR) is a legal petition filed in family court to address issues such as visitation, child support, custody, and medical support for a child. In this specific case involving Gavin Lee Lewis, born on June 20, 2009, there was a previous divorce decree in 2013 that outlined custody arrangements and child support. The mother, Miss Hooks, had equal possession of Gavin, with both parents having seven days each. Child support of $75 a week was ordered, with the father covering health insurance through his employer. However, the mother has had full-time possession of Gavin since fourth grade, indicating a change in the original custody agreement.
At the time of the court hearing, Gavin was in the eighth grade, and the father, Mr. Lewis, continued to cover health insurance through his employer. Visitation with the father varied, with Gavin staying at his father's house for nights or weekends as he chose, given that they lived close to each other. Mr. Lewis works as a supervisor for piling at a construction company, earning $49 an hour and working between 30 to 60 hours a week.
The court hearing involved questioning both parents about the current custody and support arrangements for Gavin. Miss Hooks testified that she has had full-time custody of Gavin since fourth grade, while Mr. Lewis stated that Gavin stayed with him on occasion, typically for a few days at a time. Mr. Lewis mentioned his stable job at Beaumont Contractors, where he has worked for 23 years, earning $49 an hour.
Overall, the hearing revealed that there had been a shift in custody arrangements, with the mother having primary custody of Gavin since fourth grade. The father, Mr. Lewis, maintained regular contact with Gavin, but the visitations were not as structured as before. Both parents provided information about their financial situations, including earnings and employment details. The court will need to consider these factors to determine the best arrangement for Gavin's well-being in the future.
The individual, Dad being interviewed has five other children in addition to Gavin, who is covered by health insurance through Blue Shield. The insurance plan costs around $150 a week and covers the entire family. The individual's job requires some travel, with varying frequencies and durations. They typically work four days a week for 10 hours a day, from 6:30 am to 4:30 pm. Overtime depends on job requirements. The individual had custody of Gavin for 10 months, with visits to his other parent every other weekend before he went back to live with her in December. Gavin was shot in the leg while visiting his other parent, resulting in a 12-day hospital stay. The individual is unsure of Gavin's schooling situation since he went back to live with his other parent.
The witness, Mr. Lewis, testifies about his visitation schedule with his son, Gavin, since he returned to his mother in December. He mentions that they have had a rocky relationship in the past, but lately, Gavin has been visiting regularly, mostly in the evenings for a few hours. The witness, Miss Swallow, testifies about Mr. Lewis's reported income, which has increased over the years. Miss Hooks, the child's mother, corroborates Mr. Lewis's testimony about Gavin living with him for 10 months due to an accident and then returning to regular visitation recently. The judge rules in favor of increasing child support to $735 per month, starting in July, based on the change in Mr. Lewis's income. The judge also mentions that the visitation schedule will remain the same unless the state provides additional evidence to justify a change.
