Fathers' Rights

In the past, mothers were usually granted child custody and support. However, as more mothers enter the workforce and more fathers want to have meaningful relationships with their children, the law has changed. In California, the law is now gender blind. No court can favor or disfavor a parent simply because of their gender.

Fathers have exactly the same rights as mothers. Fathers can receive child support payments and maintain custody of their children. If custody is not awarded, a father has the right to be involved in his children's life. The law prevents fathers from unjustly losing contact with their children. A father has the right to foster an ongoing, active relationship with his children, with their best interests in mind.
