Fathers Rights

Laws regarding father’s rights have shifted and Arizona now recognizes, as public policy and without evidence otherwise, it is in the child’s best interests to have substantial, frequent meaningful and continuing parenting time with both parents. (See A.R.S. §25-103). Both married and unmarried fathers have the same rights to parenting time, legal decision-making and child support as mothers.

Our family law attorneys have seen countless fathers frustrated with the amount of parenting time they are receiving. Often, there are no current court orders and the child’s mother is dictating when the father can see his child. Or, there are court orders in place but now circumstances have changed and they just don’t make sense or are even unfair. In our attorneys’ experience, it is best to get court orders in place for parenting time in the best interests of the child. We have seen many fathers not exercising the parenting time they are entitled to because of controlling mothers and inappropriate parenting plans. So contact us now to schedule a consultation and find out how we can help you start exercising the parenting time you are entitled to.
