Standing Up for Your Rights! Although I
am a father and child advocate, this agreement is NOT designed to take
advantage of your spouse/ex-partner. It does, however, help to defend your
rights as a dad and help protect the rights of your children to have a
close, loving relationship with you. Of course, your ex-partner may view
this differently if she feels that she deserves more time with the
children, or if she believes that she should have more of an influence in
raising them. If this is the case, recognize that these are just her
opinions. Unpleasant as it may be, it’s critically important to realize an
unspoken reality: women are favored in the family courts of America! You
may read or hear that this is untrue and you can believe whatever you
choose to believe. But I can assure you that in most cases;
it is without question, the reality of the American family law court
system. If you don’t believe me, read this
quote from a female judge or talk with any man who has been to
court.
As the father of your children, in most states, you technically have the same rights as the mother. The difference is that often you must fight to maintain them. Is it worth it? Only you can decide. But remember, children need their dad just as much as they need their mom. With this in mind, the questions in the next section will help you to decide what you want. |
