Fathers’ Rights in Divorce

Divorce Attorneys Representing Father's Rights

Historically, after a couple divorced or separate, the courts inevitably granted the mother physical child custody. Times have changed, but many mothers naturally expect to maintain custody of their children.

For more than 40 years, attorneys at the law firm of Berman & Asbel, LLP in Media, Pennsylvania have vigorously represented clients in family law disputes. Our experienced lawyers will aggressively protect your rights as a father.

Fathers' Rights Deserve Protection

At Berman & Asbel, our family law attorneys have extensive experience representing clients in complex divorce disputes. The law firm's senior attorney Bernard Berman has more than 40 years of experience successfully representing father's rights in divorce situations. For the past five years, Mr. Berman has worked with family law attorney Stephen Asbel, who has provided sophisticated legal advice to clients for more than 15 years.

As a team, Mr. Berman and Asbel aggressively protect fathers' rights. They have a deep understanding of the law in Pennsylvania. It is not necessary to prove that the mother is an unfit parent in order to obtain custody for the father. Instead, our legal team demonstrates why living with the father would better serve the child's interests. For example, if the mother is moving out of town, we will ask the court to grant the father custody to minimize any disruptions.

In some circumstances granting the mother child custody might be unsafe for the child. For example, domestic abuse, neglect, drugs or alcohol dependency can greatly threaten a child's best interests. We will work vigorously to make sure the parents' rights are restricted, especially when the child is at risk.

Legal Team Helps Modify Child Support

The court system understands that situations change - you are not bound to pay the same amount of child support if circumstances have changed substantially. As your attorneys, we will aggressively represent your best interests. If custody arrangements or income levels have changed, we will work with the court to modify the amount of child support you pay.
