By understanding the basic history of
divorce in the United States, and having an in-depth knowledge and experience
of the biases against men in family law courts, father’s rights attorneys are able to give men
more than just a fighting chance at obtaining equality in the eyes of the law.
While many states specifically have outlawed the use of the “Tender Years
Doctrine” in divorce cases, the feeling that many judges still hold near and
dear is that mother’s, not father’s make better residential parents.
The antiquated notions of
women being better caregivers then men may be beginning to dissipate, but the
fact remains that women file divorce at more than double the rate of men
because they know the law (and biases) are on their side. There is no better
defense than a good offense, which is why having a divorce lawyer for men
is critical to protecting a man’s rights to his family, property, and income.
