Fathers' Rights: Hard-Hitting and Fair Advice for Every Father Involved in a Custody Dispute

by Jeffery M. Leving

Jeffery Leving has spent more than a decade in the trenches of domestic law. From that perspective, he gives men embroiled in custody disputes a powerful and impassioned voice in Fathers Rights. Arguing that men are disenfranchised and stigmatized by a biased legal system, Leving promises help through such difficulties as finding empathetic attorneys, avoiding unhealthy custody arrangements, protecting the child-parent relationship, and remaining financially solvent. Included is advice on how to demonstrate parental competence when falsely accused of abuse.

Writing with passion for the plight of an under-represented population in the domestic drama, Fathers' Rights offers sound, step-by-step council and a road map through the complex terrain of family law. "Too often a dangerous free-fall ensues," Leving writes, speaking of divorce's aftermath. "At every step in the divorce process, the legal system deepens marital wounds, serving up revenge and recrimination much more often than it dispenses compassion and justice." It is Leving's mission to right the wrongs caused by divorce court.

Must read

Any father going through divorce or custody must read. This will help you up your chances to make the best-moral decisions

I haven't completely read this book yet. I has a lot of good advice for picking a lawyer and composing one's self in the courtroom. It has given me great concern for my upcoming case. I'm afraid that the legal system has not realized how important a father child relationship is and will grant custody of my daughter to my ex no matter how crazy she is. So many horror stories in this book. Scary.

This book is most useful for the father going through an initial divorce/custody battle. There is a lot of very very good, practical advice in here.
