Fathers’ Rights
For decades, courts have favored mothers over fathers in child custody and other matters of divorce or legal separation cases, based on the presumption that they are better caretakers and it would be in the child’s best interest. However, times have changed and the legal system has evolved significantly over the past few years. Fathers are now considered equally important candidates in child related matters and play a crucial role in their upbringing.
It takes a knowledgeable and steadfast attorney who is well-versed in Indiana laws and legal framework to build a strong case for establishing fathers’ rights in family law matters. If you are a father facing issues in fighting for your rights in legal separation or divorce proceedings, you can count on The Ghosh Law Office, LLC to help you with your case. We are dedicated to working with you side-by-side and ensuring you are treated justly and fairly in the court of law.
Fierce Advocacy for Fathers’ Rights in Custody and Parenting Time Matters
At The Ghosh Law Office, LLC, we are committed to providing reliable legal counsel and aggressive representation to clients defending their fathers’ rights. We know how difficult it can be to prove your eligibility for being the better parent for your children – that is why we help men in establishing and protecting their fathers’ rights in several types of family law matters, including:
- Child Custody: Being a father, you have the right to equal physical and legal custody of your children. Based on the circumstances of your case, you can request for full custody by showing how it is in your child’s best interest.
- Parenting Time/Visitation: According to the Indiana Parenting Time Guidelines, both parents should be allowed to maintain a relationship with their children, no matter which one of them has physical custody. Your spouse may try to limit your parenting time, which may also affect your share of child support payments, but we will diligently represent you in court to enforce your rights.
- Post-Decree Modification: Ex-spouses tend to exploit their right of modification in court orders by showing their circumstances have changed. In such a situation, if the modification request is unjustified, we will help you challenge it, and ensure you are least affected by it.
- Paternity: Sometimes, mothers deny the man being their children’s father, due to lack of legal documentation, allowing them to secure custody rights. We can help fathers in paternity actions by establishing paternity, parenting time, child support and custody.
