Fathers’ Rights Attorney -Divorce Lawyers for Men
Fathers have just as much stake in raising their children as mothers, and despite the popular conception, from a legal standpoint, have equal rights to be granted custody. We focus on advocating for and protecting the rights of fathers, ensuring that fathers always have an active role in their children’s lives.
Fathers are Necessary for Strong Families
When it comes to divorce and child custody cases, husbands and dads face unique challenges. Our Seattle attorneys understand the struggles men confront and stand committed to protecting fathers’ rights with assertive, effective counsel.
There is a common perception that a mother has the upper hand in child custody cases. However, the laws don’t favor one parent over the other.
It is paramount to present a father’s best case and lead the court to apply the law without regard to gender. The Obi Law Group remains dedicated to overcoming the common perception.
WHAT ARE A FATHER'S RIGHTS?
Barring extreme circumstances, fathers have the right to:
- Be a part of their children’s lives in a meaningful way and on a regular basis.
- It’s your right as a father to pursue child custody.
- If you do become the primary residential parent, it’s your right to petition the court for child support. These regular payments help cover the costs of food, shelter, clothing, and other necessities for your child.
- You have the right to see your children and be a steady presence in their lives, even if you’re not the primary residential parent.
- You have the right to regular, reasonable visitation under the law.
- It’s your right to have time free from interference by the other parent.
