Frequently Asked Questions
What are fathers' rights in a custody dispute?
Fathers have the same legal rights as mothers to seek custody of their children. Courts consider the best interests of the child when making custody decisions, which include the child's relationship with each parent, the parents' ability to provide for the child's needs, and the overall stability each parent can offer.
Our lawyers work diligently to ensure that fathers are treated fairly in these proceedings, advocating for your rights to both physical and legal custody, and helping to present a strong case that highlights your role in your child's life.
How can I establish paternity?
Paternity can be established voluntarily if both parents agree or through legal procedures that may involve DNA testing. Our family law lawyers can assist by guiding you through the process of establishing paternity, ensuring that your parental rights are recognized under the law, which is the first step in securing your relationship with your child.
Can a father obtain sole custody of a child?
Yes, if it is in the best interest of the child. Factors that may lead to a court granting a father sole custody include situations where the mother is unfit due to issues like substance abuse, neglect, or inability to provide a safe environment. Our lawyers specialize in representing fathers in these complex cases, gathering evidence to support your claim for sole custody, and advocating for the best possible outcome for your child.
How can I protect my visitation rights if the other parent is uncooperative?
In these situations, legal intervention may be necessary to enforce the court's order. Documenting instances of denied parenting time can be helpful in these cases. Our family law lawyers can assist by filing motions to enforce parenting time orders, seeking modifications to arrangements if necessary, and representing you in court to ensure your rights are upheld.
What steps can I take if I believe my child is being alienated from me?
If you believe the other parent is attempting to alienate your child from you, it's important to take legal action immediately. Our lawyers can help by advising on how to document instances of alienation and pursue court interventions to prevent further alienation.
