A common misperception that some women
have is, they should automatically get
custody, they should automatically make
every decision in the children's lives.
That is not necessarily true, fathers have
an equal right of access and say about
their children as long as they exercised
that access and say when the parties were
together. It becomes difficult during a
divorce, but if both parents were involved
before the relationship dissolved, well,
then a judge is going to want both parents
to be involved. On the other hand, if a
father never did anything,
never even came to visit his children,
never went to his school,
never went to the doctor, well, it would
be unreasonable for them to demand so much
time and say after the relationship
dissolved.
All the way, I originally started
representing fathers for over 27 years
ago. I became so good at it that I'm able
to identify the issues and many mothers
started hiring me, because I know the
arguments on both sides.
And I train the lawyers that work for me
to identify the issues,
highlight the important ones and advocate
for our clients in the best light
possible. And that's really the issue
here, you need to hire a lawyer that is
able to identify the issues and marshal
your facts to put you in the best light
possible before a judge.
