What Do I Have To Do To See My Kids?

You may need to establish paternity as the first step. Signing a recognition of parentage at the hospital does not on its own convey child custody and visitation rights.

How Can We Help !

In the past, family courts have been notoriously biased against men. For many years, the court system has believed that women should retain child custody and fathers should pay child support and spousal alimony. Fortunately, that's not the case anymore. Family courts determine child custody arrangements based on the best interests of the child and not on the old stereotypes of men's and women's roles.

Parents ability to provide and take care of the child

Parents desire to care for the child

Relationship and emotional bonding between the child and parents

Best interest of the child even if moving may be necessary

Child's age will be another factor. An old enough child have a say in who he/she chooses to live with.
