Father's Rights

At The Law Offices of Lucas M. , we provide effective legal counsel for fathers who want to maintain strong relationships with their children after divorce. 

In a just-released survey of top matrimonial lawyers, an overwhelming 61 percent report seeing a growing shift towards joint legal custody.  As both parents increasingly share day-to-day responsibilities of child rearing, the court is helping to remedy the growing demand and need for both parents to share in this crucial role.  Furthermore, the survey also revealed that more fathers are increasingly being granted sole custody of their children over the past five years, while no respondent to the survey reported a noticeable increase for mothers.

One of the most overt forms of discrimination still condoned in America is that of the divorcing father. Protective orders and evictions are issued without evidence at a moments notice…restraining orders are issued without testimony…at times, custody is even awarded without testimony, and false child abuse allegations against fathers are rampant.  Contacting us at The Law Offices of Lucas M. might be the help you’re looking for.

Whenever possible, we encourage fathers to seek shared custodial arrangements and negotiate a parenting plan with their former spouse which is in the best interest of the minor children.  It is widely accepted among family development professionals that shared custody arrangements benefit the children of divorced parents.  We refer fathers to informational sources that shed light on their legal rights and the continuing developmental needs of their children. Learn More.
