Molly Hayes is a retired civil trial paralegal, with over 25 years experience in family and personal injury law.
Since 2005, Molly has been advocating for victims of abuse, domestic violence and speaking out about the harmful effects of high conflict child custody battles and parental alienation.
Born into a family legacy of accomplished legal professionals on her father’s side, Molly’s childhood was spent with her mother in Hollywood California, working as a child actress.
However, as a teenager, Molly chose to return home to Texas, and follow in her father’s footsteps, starting her career as a paralegal, training under her father’s supervision.
Molly’s career began in contract law, most notably, the drafting of the contract for the Downtown Dallas JFK Exhibit. A mother of two, Molly spent the majority of her career in Florida where she worked in a small Clearwater law firm in family and person injury.
Her career path came naturally as a birthright, but it was her passion for writing and many unique life experiences that led to her mission of advocating for families involved in the child welfare and family court system.
In 2005, Molly authored ”It’s Almost Tuesday”, a fictional story based on true events of child abuse in the foster care system.
The story was written from an 8 year old foster child’s point of view, and became an award winning website Itsalmosttuesday.com – voted top 10 best of the web for domestic violence awareness, and featured in Lawyers and Settlements Magazine.
In more recent years, Molly’s focus turned to parental alienation and speaking out about the harmful effects it has on the parent/child relationship after her own family was affected by parental alienation spanning several generations.
Today, Molly enjoys a quiet, simple life in Southern California with her husband Greg and their three fur-babies, Rocky, Addy and Cali.
