Fathers Child Custody Rights Essay

What is custody evaluation? Simply put, it is the legal process performed via a court appointed mental health expert. This expert may be a psychologist or social worker. His or her job is to evaluate a family and makes a recommendation to the court for a custody, visitation or parenting plan. A judge may choose to use custody evaluation as well as testimony from other witness when making a final judgement (A. J. 2011).

The title represents the content of the article to extent as it focuses on father’s involvement in children services. However, it was not concise enough and did not state what type of children services it was referring to. Additionally, the second part of the title mentioned that it will be exploring the local and national issues that fathers experience. It can only be assumed that due to the the authors profession and expertise, the article aims to discuses father’s accessibility on a local and national level. Nevertheless, this also adds to the credibility and reliability of the article as the authors are knowledgeable about children’s services and qualified to publish the article (Gillina et al, 2012).

A married couple, both addicted to drugs, is unable to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 yrs. old, the natural parents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will.

Custody cases can be hard on everyone involved and it is often seen that courts tend to favor the mother in custody cases. The truth is that custody is decided by what is in the best interest of your child or children. This can involve a lot of factors and employment should only be a small part of the deciding factors. Having a job or not having a job should not be the deciding factor in any custody judgement, however you may find that whether you can or can not financially care for your children will be a factor.

Here is a not-so-secret secret about father's right and child custody in California: fathers do have the equal rights without regard to if you were married to your child's mother. Many fathers just don;t know that they have parental rights, which they can establish and enforce through the courts. However, there tends to be a lot of misinformation floating around. Theis article will help you if you choose to take the correct legal actions.

It’s the responsibility of the mother and the father to ensure the welfare of their children. however, many parents of this dawn age try to avoid that responsibility, most of the time the parents that avoid these responsibilities are the men. Because of the acts of irresponsible parents trying to avoid the welfare of their children throughout the years, the US law has enforced and consider a legislating laws of child support enforcement, these laws and amendments, continue to impact child support today.

In “The "Y" Factor: Gender Bias, Child Custody And The Great Parenting Myth”, David T. Pissara argues that there seems to be gender bias when it comes to child custody and parenting. He establishes his point by acknowledging the intentions of the the custody courts from a legal perspective, the bias that occurs in courts and mentioning a man's virtue to protect and guide the development of a child through the use of personal opinion. However, I wish to argue that Pissara's arguments are somewhat biased and lack factual information to backup his claims. Pissara is in no doubt correct that family courts want what is best for the child.

I needed to know why do mothers always get the upper hand? Why does the court system feel like a man isn’t capable of taking care or raising a kid on their own? And if a mom takes the father

Fathers are just as important as mothers to bond with their children. So, should they receive paid paternity leave? Paternity leave is when a father takes time off to bond, help out, and adjust to the new day-to-day life having a new addition to the family. Some people haven’t heard the term, “paternity leave,” and assumes you’re talking about maternity leave; which is when the mother is recuperating and caring for her new child. It sounds nice when a father takes time off to care for their spouse and new born. Although, some men might find it more stressful to take time off because they worry about their positioning and possible promotions in the future at work. All fathers should receive paid paternity leave because it’s beneficial in the workplace, more companies and states will reconsider doing it, it’s beneficial to the kids, and they become used to doing more routine work around the house.

Men can go to war, at home and abroad, they can die for our country and protect its citizens, but when it comes to single fathers receiving equal treatment in court, men are at the losing end. The mother has to basically be insane or a habitual criminal to ever be considered unfit, while all the man has to do to be considered unfit is be a man. Many citizens, who are not involved in custody battles, are not aware of how sexist the system is against men, and sadly there really is no representation for the men who care and love their children. All too often men are written into the role of the deadbeat, the walk away parent, irresponsible and unloving. While there may be some men who fall into this category, women who do the same are always painted

In the United States there are more than $35 billion dollars in child support payments owed and “one out of every four parents who are owed child support gets nothing; and parents who owe it reportedly pay less than 60 percent of their debts on average, according to the National Center for State Courts. When parents don’t get the money they need from noncustodial parents, they often look instead to government welfare programs to help make ends meet”. [2]

Private child support collection services become necessary in recent years. They are necessary because of the many families that have had to go without court-ordered child support payments. The problem is that many parents fail to pay their child support payments on a regular basis. These deadbeat parents may also take a variety of steps to get out of their financial responsibilities. Those steps can make it difficult for government agencies to collect. The collection methods used by the state may include placing liens on property, but these liens are not always effective.

You ask many fathers, who have children, if they have to pay child support? If they have custody of their child? Preferably someone you know on that level! I would say about most of them will tell you they have to pay outrageous amount of child support and maybe get to see their child a few times a week, if that. Notice that I didn’t mention mothers about child support or custody? because they are the ones who cause most of the issues involving these issues, out of spite for the father they like to use children to gain “control” of the father. Now I will not say that all women do this but there is a vast majority of them that do.What needs to be done about these issues is, Proper arrangements, agreements, best interest

As ordinary citizens, we value our fundamental rights and expect to have these natural rights given to us since birth. As stated by Altman, “We value the right to pursue intimacy – the right to form and sustain intimate relationships. Intimate relationships shape identity, life plans and happiness” (Altman 305). These intimacy and parental rights allow for positive relationships and positive impacts. People have the right to choose who they want to include in their life and build a family from. As parents, there is a role to be played, responsibilities and duties to be made, which can only be fulfilled when a parent has parental rights to their children. Both parent and child benefit from the rights of intimacy when a parent has a right to meet the interests of their child. For parents have a duty to their children. Only can these duties be met once a parent is guaranteed their fundamental rights. For parents have an interest to raise their children as they have the right to do so and build intimate relationships as they have these rights as citizens. Unless another factor prevents these rights from being used such as abuse or nonconsent. This essay examines the main argument of Karst of the intimacy and parental rights with the best objection to his argument and a possible response to this objection.

Fathers' rights come into the spotlight when there is a loving and caring father that wants to be involved but can not do so because of the spouse who is vengeful.
