San Jose Father's Duties & Rights Lawyer

Understanding Fathers Rights and Responsibilities

Studies show that fathers play an integral part in a child's life. In California, the family law courts believe this too and make every effort to ensure a father has ample time with a child to fulfill his responsibilities as a parent.

That said, the courts will always side with the best interest of the child. If the child lives happily with the mother, there must be strong evidence to support making a change in that lifestyle. This may be a shock to fathers who think they have a right to custody of their child.

A Family Law Attorney Who Personally Understands Your Situation

At the Dominion Law Group, we are led by attorney Kevin Hutcheson, a single father of four children. Mr. Hutcheson understands your situation from a personal perspective, and uses this to explain the concept of father's rights and duties in California and what this means to your case. He will help you form a child custody and visitation plan that satisfies your desires as a parent, while serving the best interests of your children.

Focus on the Parental Relationship With Your Child

Parents don't have rights. They have responsibilities to care for the needs of their children. As soon as our clients understand this, the better they are able to move beyond who has the child a majority of the time, and start negotiating a parenting plan that works best for the family.
