Breaking Tradition

Historically and traditionally speaking, a child has always been entrusted in the care of their mother. In cases of child custody, the courts are more sympathetic towards mothers, favoring them, even if less capable. Fathers are often shouldered with the financial responsibilities of the custody settlement, paying child support and other child-related expenses, without actually spending much time with their child. What this has meant for fathers is less time with their child, with little or no participation in their child’s welfare and day-to-day life. Non-custodial fathers depend on court-determined visitations that often result in the father and child meeting once a week or in some cases, even once a year. This has caused fathers’ rights to come into the forefront, as more and more non-custodial fathers want to play a bigger role in their child’s life.

What are Father’s Rights?

Simply put, a father has a right to be involved in their child’s life. They have the right to make decisions regarding their children’s day-to-day activities and be a part of them as well. A father has custodial rights. If a father is a custodial parent, he has the right to ask for child support and if custody is not awarded, he has the right to participate in his child’s life without unfair interference. In addition, a father has the right to foster an ongoing relationship with their child, with the best interests of the child in mind. Of course this may mean coming to a compromise with the child’s mother, where arrangements to share parenting can be made with the help of an impartial third party, if both parents have trouble coming to an agreement on their own.

Emotional Roller Coaster

Chances are, when you and your spouse embarked on this relationship, you never anticipated a separation or divorce. Circumstances surrounding your income, property, job and number of children may have changed since then. If a pre/postnuptial agreement was drawn, it may be rendered invalid, based on present circumstances. When the reality of a separation hits, unexpected words and actions may leave both parties upset and overwhelmed. In such a situation, when emotions are running high, the best recourse is to contact a qualified Dad's Law Attorney Group family law specialist as soon as possible.
