Father's Rights

As a father, YOU HAVE RIGHTS! You have the same rights to custody and/or visitation as the mother. The same laws that apply to the mother also apply to you. You have the right to have frequent and regular contact with your child. We can assist you in making sure as a father that your rights to this frequent and regular contact is secured in a court order.

If you already have a current court order, violation of physical custody and parenting time must be taken seriously. If a mother is violating a court order by refusing to exchange a child when the court order requires it, or is otherwise interfering with your parenting time, you can:


  • Document the violations with the mother, preferably in an e-mail;
  • Obtain cards from the Police documenting the other party's refusal to exchange the minor child;


If the mother refuses to do so and continues to violate your custody rights, file a Request For Order for a child custody modification request, a contempt action against her or both. YOU HAVE RIGHTS!


California law favors joint legal custody for parents. California law explicitly prefers parents to share in the decision-making process related to the child. If the mother of the child makes decisions related to the child without your input and consent, in violation of a joint legal custody order, you have many rights available to you. These rights include but are not limited to a California family law contempt of court action against the mother for violation of your joint legal custody rights you can file a Paternity and/or Request for Order to establish your rights as a Father.  YOU HAVE RIGHTS! Allow Elite Legal to assist you.
