Fathers Should Know How Post-Judgment Motions Work in Family Court

It is not uncommon for fathers in the United States to feel disenfranchised by the family court system. Over the past several decades, fathers have been at a disadvantage in many family court proceedings due to an outdated belief that fathers best serve their children as breadwinners while mothers are more suitable caregivers.

Fathers across the country should know that legal attitudes are changing regarding the outdated gender roles assigned to men and women. As more family courts in the

Tips for Divorcing Fathers Looking for Legal Representation in Family Law

It is no secret that fathers and men have been disadvantaged in the family court systems due to long-standing beliefs about men and women’s roles as parents.

It is understandable that many divorcing fathers in the United States feel hopeless and distraught as they begin divorce proceedings.

Today, we know that fathers are just as capable as mothers when it comes to raising children, and a good father who is fully capable of caring for his children has every right to fight for custody in divorce. Fathers still face an uphill battle when it comes to contesting child custody, as long-standing

How Does Joint Custody Work With a Newborn?

Child custody is an often-misunderstood area of family law. There are many pervasive myths and misconceptions that cause fathers to believe that the younger their child is, the less time they will likely get to spend with them after divorce. If you and your soon-to-be ex-spouse have a newborn child together, it’s only natural to assume that the mother’s biological abilities to nurture the child would inherently predispose her to receive greater custody of the child in a divorce. While in the past, most courts would uphold mothers as primary caregivers and men have historically received fewer custody rights than

Common Misconceptions About Fathers’ Rights in Family Law

It’s widely believed that fathers are inherently disadvantaged when it comes to family court matters, particularly child support and child custody. While the family court system in the US has historically skewed in favor of mothers obtaining majority custody, this is not always the case, nor is it always in the best interests of the children involved in a divorce.
