Fathers' Rights Archives

While it may seem at times that the court system does not always give fathers their due in custody cases, the situation has improved over the years. In fact, there has been an increased effort to focus on the best interests of the child, rather than placing emphasis on the gender of the parents seeking custody. And the fathers' rights movement has likely played an important role in seeing such positive changes come to fruition.

A divorce is never easy for a family. It can be especially difficult for a father who no longer lives in the same house as his children. In this situation, a man may feel unsure about his place in his children's lives. In setting the stage for this next phase of his life, a man has many important decisions to make which could affect his relationship with his children.

Most of what we covered in that post applies to fathers who had regular physical access to their children.
