Custody Rights

A father’s rights centers on the relationship between fathers and their children. The relationship could have been altered by family law, divorce, child custody rights, child support and alimony. One way to get implicated in a father’s rights is to join the Fathers’ Rights Movement. Initially, the members had little interest in politics or law, but when their goal of custody rights were being delayed by the courts, many of the members took interest in family law.

The Fathers’ Rights Movement is known as a social movement and civil rights movement. Members of a father’s rights group are forced to generate rhetorical strategies to elicit emotional responses. They also believe that fathers are discriminated against as an effect of gender bias in family law. The main focus of the Fathers’ Rights Movement has been to attain formal legal rights for fathers and to make changes to family law related to child custody rights.
