What Is Fathers’ Rights?
Fathers’ rights are the rights afforded to fathers. They concern the concept that a father should be able to have a relationship with his children. In family law, the priority is the best interests of the child and sometimes a father’s role in those interests becomes an afterthought.
Do Mothers Always Get Preferential Treatment?
It is a fact that most children do end up in the custody of their mothers. This may be the result of preferential treatment or some other bias. The fact is that more and more California law attempts to give custody to the parent who would provide best for the child.

A prior marriage to the child’s mother does not necessarily equate to having a better claim to fathers’ rights. While it can help your case, your marital status is not the end of the conversation. If you are a caring father looking for a better relationship with your child, you can get help.
