Call 866-901-8742 for Advice About Paternity and Fathers' Rights
My law firm advises unmarried and divorced parents about the full range of legal issues that can come up with regard to parental interests and responsibilities:
- Establishing a father's paternity of a child
- Determining the amount of monthly child support payments
- Negotiating or litigating child custody issues
- Arranging for a regular schedule of visitation
I can also help people who need legal advice about the modification or enforcement of child support obligations or visitation arrangements in cases of significantly changed circumstances or default.
If you're an unmarried father who acknowledges your relationship with your child, you might be interested in obtaining a legally enforceable and stable schedule of visitation. If you feel that you can provide a better home for your child than the mother can, I can tell you what's involved with the child custody process. There's no reason to suppose that your status as a man should put you at any legal disadvantage in a dispute over child custody arrangements.
I also work with mothers and fathers who need legal advice about troubled parent-child situations of various kinds — PINS cases, concerns about child visitation with an irresponsible noncustodial parent, or the effects of mental illness, substance abuse or family violence problems on a person's ability to meet the demands of responsible parenthood.
