Father’s Rights
It is often assumed in many custody cases that the mother will automatically get primary physical placement, and the father will get visitation rights, such as every other weekend. Even if this does happen frequently, the law offers no preferential consideration to the mother in custody cases. The courts are compelled by law to grant primary placement to the parent with the environment most suited to the children’s needs and best interests.
If you’re a McDonough-area father and know you can provide a healthy, loving, and stable environment for your child, we’re here to assist you in gaining primary placement. Just because you’re the father does not mean that you have fewer rights than the mother. Even if a primary placement isn’t in the cards, we can also help you get joint legal custody to make sure you have an equal voice in the decisions made regarding your child.

Child Custody Lawyers McDonough
The optimal situation would be both parents working together to decide for the child’s best interest. Unfortunately, that’s not possible in every situation. Bad feelings and emotions can prevent parents from working together. In that case, allow us to help you by using aggressive yet fair negotiation tactics, evidence-based arguments, as well as sound legal strategies to get the best outcome for you, the child, and the family as a whole. These custody issues tend to be difficult for both the parents and the children as well.
In addition to the typical custody issues, unwed fathers also have additional burdens to prove, and that’s paternity and legitimation. Paternity refers to the biological component, while legitimation shows that the father plays a substantial role in the child’s life. Should you ever find yourself in the unfortunate situation of being in a custody battle, Family Matters Law Group, a group of McDonough family law attorneys, has the legal acumen and requisite expertise to get an amicable solution best for the children and all those involved.
