San Bernardino Fathers' Rights Attorney

Defending Your Rights to Your Children

Traditionally, mothers have been granted primary custody of their children after a divorce because cultural perceptions and established gender roles delineated mothers' roles as homemakers and caretakers. Fathers, who worked to support the family, were thought to have neither the time nor the ability to care for their children in the same manner as a mother. Today, thankfully, we are more aware as a society and fathers' rights have become a prominent issue in the realm of family law.

We at the Law Offices of Michael R. Young firmly believe that every parent should be assessed based on his or her qualities and abilities, not on his or her gender. If you are considering divorce, currently involved in a divorce or if you are already divorced but you are seeking a modification to your child custody agreement, please do not hesitate to discuss your case with a skilled San Bernardino family law attorney at our firm.

Representing Fathers' Rights in the Inland Empire

California state law urges judges to award joint custody when it is possible, as children should be given the maximum contact possible with each parent. In general, the state holds the position that the interests of the child are best served by maintaining relationships with both parents. Our San Bernardino fathers' rights lawyers are in agreement with the state, and we strive to ensure that no parent is denied access to his or her children because of superficial presumptions based on gender. We will work tirelessly to prove your case, both in negotiations and in court. Call us today to schedule a free case evaluation regarding your rights as a father.
