The issue of father’s rights in the state of Washington has been heating up in recent years due to an increased desire by fathers to take legal action in order to preserve more of their rights as a parent and to play more active roles in the lives of their children.  At (FIRM NAME HERE), our compassionate Seattle divorce attorneys have years of experience in dealing with cases that involve the issue of father’s rights, including:

·         Paternity

·         Spousal Support

·         Custody Problems

·         Custody and Visitation

·         Child Support

While our Seattle divorce lawyers here at (FIRM NAME HERE) do represent clients of either sex equally and fairly, we recognize that fathers in particular face special challenges in these cases.

Leveling the Playing Field

In the past, as any experienced Seattle divorce attorney will tell you, courts typically favored women in cases involving child support and custody.  This meant that the fathers were relegated to a “secondary” caretaker role, even though they showed a genuine desire and ability to serve as the primary caretaker and legal guardian of their children.  This left many fathers feeling violated or taken advantage of, and left them to shoulder the responsibility of paying child support and spousal maintenance (otherwise known as support or alimony).  But this is now changing.

Thanks to an increase in female judges and an increased social awareness, the father’s rights movement has gained ground and more fathers are reclaiming their legal rights.  The status quo has also changed thanks to a better understanding of the importance of having both mothers and fathers equally involved in the lives of their children.
