Too often, dads are treated unfairly during divorce and child custody proceedings. Due to stereotypes and biases that favor the mother, fathers sometimes don't even try to fight back. At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, we fight for equal rights for fathers. Family law experts agree that children benefit greatly from having strong relationships with both a mother and father. Research is very clear – children need BOTH parents!
Helping Fathers Establish Paternity, Visitation and Custody
Our attorneys approach every divorce, child custody and child support case as if we are preparing for trial, whether we are representing a father or mother. Even if you were never married to your child's mother, you still have rights. Our lawyers can help you establish paternity, fight for visitation, also called parenting time, and custody.
Fathers' Rights in Massachusetts
Legally, fathers have the same custody and parenting rights as mothers. Realistically, fathers have a difficult battle to fight when working to enforce these rights. If your child's mother was previously uninvolved in the child's life and is now seeking custody, we can use a variety of methods, including FAST LANE transponder tracking, as well as witnesses to show that you are the primary caregiver — you are the parent who is present at doctor appointments, teacher conferences, dentist appointments and other important activities.
