Mediation is mandatory in all States.

Mediation in all States is a prerequisite in all custody/visitation matter before the court.

How to fight false allegations of domestic violence?
Unfortunately broken relationships can result in domestic violence incidents. Physical abuse is NEVER ok and will impact the outcome of custody case. Equally unfortunate is the fact that many women in an attempt to gain an advantage in a pending divorce and/or custody case will make up stories of abuse, acts of violence and threats.

How do you stop a Mother from breaking the court orders?
When the court makes orders for custody and visitation (or any other order) it presumes that both parties will follow the orders.

What are the rights of an unmarried Father?
The same as a married father however the unmarried father may have to take additional legal steps by filing paperwork with the court to establish paternity and obtain his parental rights. Simply signing a birth certificate does NOT confer parental rights. (click to read more)
What are my rights if the Mother remarries?
Both parties have the right to "move on" and form new relationships. However, the step parent has no legal right or obligation to be involved in legal matters related to the divorce and/or other case orders.
How can I stop the Mother from moving away to another State?
Each state requires that the moving parent notify the non-moving parent within 30 days prior to the move. (Some states are 45 days) The non-moving parent must either agree to the move and develop a new parenting plan or file for a hearing opposing the move.
