Fatherhood, by law, gives you certain rights and responsibilities with respect to your children. You do not need a court order to obtain your rights as a father. You already have them. They are guaranteed by the United States Constitution and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights. As a father, you have the right to be an influence in your children’s lives; to be involved, interact, and spend time with your children; to love and nurture your children without harassment or micromanagement from their mother; to decide where your child will live; to participate in parenting; to see your children’s school and medical records; to follow your own beliefs and parenting style during your time with the children and to have a say in what’s in their best interests.

A universal concern is a perception that the deck is stacked against men from the beginning because of pressures from highly visible feminists and a sympathetic press.  Men feel that they are made to pay the price for a minority of husbands and fathers who ignore their responsibilities. It is the experience of many men that they are “assumed guilty” for the breakup of the marriage – and that they must pay in order to atone for this sin. 

Our divorce attorneys and family lawyers acknowledge the pain and suffering that is inevitable in the fallout of every divorce.  Neither the children nor the father, however, should have to suffer. 

At The Massachusetts Family Law Group, many of our clients remain close to us for months and years after their divorce or family law matter is over.  Our voicemail boxes are clogged with praise and our mailboxes are clogged with holiday cards every year.  When it comes to advocating for fathers’ rights, we love our work and it shows in the results we can obtain for clients. 

We meet clients at 5AM and on weekends.  Contact us for a no-obligation consultation or call (800) 910-DIVORCE.
