San Fernando Valley Fathers’ Rights Attorneys
About Fathers’ Rights
The term “fathers’ rights” refers to a social movement that was established to protect the rights of fathers and husbands primarily in family law matters such as divorce, child custody and child support. In the past, fathers’ rights were virtually ignored in matters involving the determination of child custody or child support. Most often the mother gained custody of the child or children in the event of a divorce or legal separation. Even in the presence of drug use, physical abuse, alcoholism or mental health issues the mother would likely get custody unless the father was able to fight to prove that she was truly unfit to care for the child.
Today, fathers’ rights are more broadly recognized. However, it is still often a struggle to ensure that joint custody is awarded or that the father gets sole custody when the mother is unfit.
