Can a Mother Legally Keep Her Child Away From the Father?
Under normal circumstances, the answer would be no. A mother cannot stop their child from seeing their father unless a court order says otherwise. However, if the father has not established paternity or has been classified by a judge as "unfit", then there is a chance that the mother can keep the child solely to herself. These matters can become complex and often misunderstood. Contact our law firm today for additional information on how you can protect yourself as a father.
Are Courts Biased Against Fathers?
No, courts in any state are not biased against a parent because of gender. Decades ago, mothers were seen as the nurturers and were often rewarded custody regardless of circumstances. Courts have begun to realize that a man can have the same positive impact as a mother, thus the playing field has become equal. There are certain situations where an infant child needs their mother for things such as breast feeding, so joint or sole custody are often the results of those cases.
