Custody may not be right for every father, but every father should have equal right to custody.
This is why we decided to found the Father and Children’s Law Center in August 2007. There is a need for fathers and men in the divorce system to be aggressively represented in regards to custody, visitation and support. As the attorneys in our firm have children of their own and have continued to see the unfairness demonstrated in Oklahoma court rooms tending to favor women. Although the legislature has enacted statutes to attempt to provide equal access to their children, it still remains to be an uneven playing field.
Study after study has shown that children need a strong positive male influence in their lives in order to achieve success. Oklahoma courts consider the best interests of the child test in order to determine custody and visitation issues. More and more fathers are staying home with their children, providing equal time in the parenting role of their children or providing the primary parenting role.
As recent client Ronnie Caldwell has declared “All fathers should go to the Father and Children’s Law Center”. Not only did Ronnie Caldwell get joint custody he was named the primary custodial parent.
Protecting and aggressively representing the men of Oklahoma was the reason and continues to be the driving force behind the creation of the Father and Children’s Law Center.
