Helping Fathers Obtain the Rights They Deserve
In today's society, the idea of fathers' rights has become generalized. There are misconceptions about what rights are automatic, what rights are fought for and what rights are given by the court. If you are working through a legal matter concerning fathers' rights, an experienced lawyer can help you understand the rights you have and what you may be able to receive after a paternity test.
I am Rhonda R. Crabtree, Attorney at Law, and I represent clients throughout the Nashville and Clarksville, Tennessee, areas in fathers' rights matters. Contact me online or call 615-246-5558 to schedule your free initial consultation.
Your Parental Rights
First, let me clarify one of the biggest misconceptions regarding fathers' rights. If there has never been a custody order and if you were never married to the mother, you have no parental rights until they are given to you by the judge. Even if your name is on the birth certificate, you still need to go through the legal process.
I can help you receive the statutory fathers' rights you deserve, including:
- An organized, consistent visitation schedule
- Modifying child support if it has already been ordered
- Giving the child your last name
- Giving the child gifts
- Making phone calls to the child without interference from the mother
- No derogatory comments from the mother
Helping Fathers Receive More Visitation Time With Their Child
When clients contact me, I help them get the case started. Because of the economy, many parents are working less than they have in the past. I work with fathers to make modifications to existing parenting plans, allowing them as much visitation as possible. I also address any questions they have about custody, including the remarriage of either parent, the influence of a stepparent's income on child support and relocation matters.
