On behalf of Stange Law Firm, PC posted in Fathers’ Rights on Thursday, April 2, 2015.
Many people believe that fathers do not get a fair shake in court. A common perception is that courts favor mothers over fathers. In the past, this was often true. Fathers were viewed as being the primary breadwinners, rather than the primary caretakers of the children. Consequently, fathers were not always provided with the child custody arrangements they wanted and deserved. Fortunately, family courts in Missouri and Illinois have come a long way in recognizing fathers’ rights. Today’s court system strongly favors having both parents involved in a child’s life.
It is important to remember that fathers have rights during every stage of your child’s life, from pregnancy to adulthood. For example, if the mother wants to put your child up for adoption, you, as the father, have the right to object. You also have rights concerning medical care and the health of your unborn child. After your child is born, you have other rights, including the right to petition for custody or parenting time with your child.
