Understanding Fathers’ Rights In California
In California, the family courts aim to ensure fair treatment in child custody and support cases, reflecting the importance of both parents in a child’s life. When children are born out of wedlock, establishing paternity is crucial for protecting your rights as a father. Establishing paternity will help secure your visitation and custody rights. It will also establish your legal responsibilities such as child support.
During a divorce, California courts are mindful of fathers’ rights. As family lawyers, we will strive to protect your right to have a meaningful connection with your child and help you establish custody, visitation and a parenting plan that will support and encourage opportunities for you to maintain a relationship with your child.
How Is Child Support Established In California?
In California, the family law courts acknowledge that both parents have a responsibility to support their child. As such, child support in California is determined based on a formula that considers:
- Both parents’ incomes
- The time that each parent regularly spends with their child
- The child’s financial needs
Whether you are establishing child support for the first time or seeking a modification of an existing court order, our child support lawyers can help negotiate child support payments that are fair and in the best interests of your child.
How Is Parental Alienation Addressed In California?
Parental alienation occurs when one parent manipulates a child to turn against the other parent, often affecting fathers. When parental alienation is at issue, it can result in devastating consequences for both fathers and their children by damaging their relationship. California courts take allegations of parental alienation seriously. Legal strategies, including court intervention and family counseling, can address and mitigate its effects. Our legal team is committed to helping you resolve parental alienation conflicts and protect your relationship with your children.
