Fathers’ Custody Rights

If you are facing the dissolution of your marriage, you are no doubt overwhelmed by a myriad of emotions. However, if you are a father, the emotional impact of this devastating time in your life is intensified by uncertainty for your future as you fear losing your children.

The two attorneys at Cortez Family Law are collectively parents to six children. They understand the importance of continuing a relationship with children and the high level of anxiety that can transpire from the fear of losing that relationship.

At Cortez Family Law, we believe that a divorced father’s rights are equally important to the custody rights of a mother. We further believe in the importance of a father in the children’s lives. Never should a father’s role be minimized.

Because the laws used to favor mother and sometimes still do, mothers still tend to be awarded primary custody more often than fathers. In a society where fathers worked and mothers stayed home, this may have been appropriate, but a bias toward the mother should not occur in our day and age, where generally, both parents are employed.
