What Dads Need to Know

Fathers Have Rights

If you are a father about to embark down the road to divorce, you need a strong ally who understands the unique challenges that dads encounter relating to child custody, parenting plans and more. As the father, you may feel like the odds are not in your favor. However, it is important to remember that you have rights — the same rights as your child's mother. If you want primary custody, there should be nothing stopping you from pursuing it.

Divorce for Dads in Massachusetts

Based on more than 40 years of professional, legal experience as well as personal experience, our family law attorneys know what obstacles and issues fathers face during divorce. You have the legal right to be involved in your children's lives and in every parenting decision related to your children, including:

  • How much time you spend with your children (it's not totally up to their mother)
  • Where your children will live
  • Decisions regarding your children's education
  • Medical decisions
  • Any choices regarding your children's best interests

At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, we will protect your rights as a father during divorce and child custody and visitation proceedings. We also represent fathers during child custody modifications and relocation issues.

To learn more, call our fathers' rights lawyers at (800) 763-1030 or contact us online. We offer free consultations to fathers, mothers and other individuals going through divorce in Boston and throughout eastern Massachusetts.
