There are many misconceptions concerning child custody and fathers. Custody of a dependent child is an issue when parents separate or a child is born to a couple who is already separated. In the past, the common trend was for mothers to stay home and care for the children while the father worked. Divorce rates were lower and fathers who faced the issue could be sure they would not receive custody. During the past several decades, women have begun to enter the workplace in larger numbers and many fathers find themselves taking care of children also. Courts have adjusted their rulings to allow for these situations. Although common belief is that fathers do not have a chance of getting custody, even if they are the more suitable parent, they do have a good chance in today’s legal system. If a father is able to prove that the living condition he can offer the children is better, he will often be awarded custody. Children who are old enough to decide who they want to live with will usually be able to choose; more children are choosing to live with their fathers in several cases. Initial custody hearings generally do end with the mother gaining custody in most states. This ruling may be appealed and will require the help of a father’s rights attorney. Fathers should never believe that their case is hopeless; a father who is concerned about the well-being of their child should pursue custody. Even if sole custody is not sought, joint custody may also be granted. Some judges give an unfavorable ruling against a father initially. Appealing for joint custody instead of visitation will usually result in a positive change in the father’s favor. Courts look more favorably upon fathers who have an active interest in their children’s lives and show a desire to be a part of them. The worst possible thing a father wanting custody could do is to simply give up. With the help of a good father’s rights attorney and investment of time and effort, fathers may earn more custody or win sole custody of their children. In the eyes of the law, children who are not dependent upon their mothers, such as a breast-feeding infant, are eligible to fall in the custody of either parent. Legal proceedings and decisions must be fair and unbiased, meaning several court appearances may be necessary to win.
Yes, there are pro bono (free) lawyers who specialize in child custody cases and help fathers assert their rights in family court. Pro bono lawyers are attorneys who offer their legal services for free or at a significantly reduced cost to individuals who cannot afford to hire a private attorney. These pro bono services may be offered by various organizations, legal aid clinics, or non-profit groups that focus on providing legal assistance to low-income individuals and families. These lawyers can help fathers with child custody and visitation issues, assist in preparing legal documents, and represent them in court if necessary. To find pro bono legal assistance for child custody cases, fathers can start by contacting their local legal aid organizations, bar associations, or family law clinics. Additionally, they can search online for non-profit organizations that provide legal help for fathers seeking custody rights. Keep in mind that the availability of pro bono services may vary depending on the location and the resources of the organizations in the area.
A father who is struggling with a child custody case may be able to find pro bono legal help, which means a regular lawyer will handle the case at no charge. Call the California State Bar and ask them if they have any local recommendations.
