Dedicated Experience in Family Law on Your Side.
Covina Fathers' Rights Attorney
Information on Fathers' Rights
It is widely held that fathers have next to no rights when it comes to child custody and child support in a divorce proceeding. While this may have been true in the past, it is less true today. However, a gender bias still exists, and as a father you need to be aware of it when going into court to fight for custody of your children. In households with dual incomes, consideration is given equally to both parents when determining who will have custody of the children and who will owe child support to whom.
No matter how much times have changed you need to have legal representation from a Covina divorce lawyer to ensure that you are presenting the best possible case to the court on your behalf. When it comes to fathers' rights, the courts first priority is ensuring that the child's best interests are being taken into consideration. In most cases, the courts will be in favor of the child having a relationship with both parents. This may include joint custody or visitation for the non-custodial parent.
If you have not established the paternity of your child it may become essential for you to do so. If paternity is not established, and the parents are not married, the father has no legal responsibilities to the child. Conversely, if the parents are married, paternity will be assumed, even if it is not certain. In order to make sure that your child is properly cared for it may become necessary for paternity to be established.

"Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you."My ex boyfriend was very abusive. His attorney seemed to be very aggressive and was always filing Ex Parte (emergency) hearings for me to appear in court. Due to a cost issue, I attempted to handle matters myself but it seemed that I could not get my point accrues to the judge who seemed to be familiar with my ex boyfriend’s attorney. I found Mr. Eads in the phonebook and I thought I would give him a call. Mr. Eads was able to get the restraining order I was seeking and my ex boyfriend ended up paying Mr. Eads’ attorney fees. I can now feel rest-assured that my daughter and I will be safe. I also happy that I do not have to deal with my ex’s attorney anymore. Mr. Eads worked hard for me and I am confident he will do the same for you.- K.Y.

"The outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive."My previous attorney failed to show up for my court date and as a result, the matter was set for trial without any input from my side. I desperately sought out an attorney but most of them wanted a huge retainer up front. I found Mr. Eads and when I went in for a consultation, I found that his retainer was more than reasonable. I also liked the fact that he practices exclusively family law and seems very familiar with the local judicial officers. I felt very comfortable with Mr. Eads in my corner going into my trial and I found that the outcome was much more than I ever expected to receive. Mr. Eads was very thorough in my case evaluation and helped me get everything I was entitled to.- J.L.

"Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex."I am a business owner and when I got divorced, I was terrified that I would lose my business. My business was also heavily leveraged against and I did not have enough capitol to sustain the business and pay my wife spousal support. My ex had an attorney who was very intimidating and kept pressuring me to liquidate the business so that I could pay his attorney’s fees. I was referred to Mr. Eads by a friend. Mr. Eads was able to help structure a settlement that allowed me to keep my business while sharing the business debts with my ex. I was also able to shorten my spousal support obligation. I really appreciate Mr. Eads professionalism and guidance during these difficult times.- J.A.

"Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody."I am honored to write this review for Mr. Eads after he helped reunify me with my daughter after my ex abducted her and moved to Arizona. I was devastated when I came home from work to find my ex had left with all our daughter’s belongings. I called the police who told me I needed to hire an attorney. I came across Mr. Eads’ website and I was impressed with his bio. I contacted him immediately and within days, we were in court requesting that my the DA Abduction unit assist me in the return of my daughter. Not only did Mr. Eads get my daughter returned to me, I was able to have full physical custody and my ex has summer and holiday visitation. Mr. Eads is truly my hero. Thanks Mr. Eads!- Paul W.
