Fathers Rights Attorney in Memphis, TN

Fathers Rights Overview

Custody for Fathers

Despite a trend towards greater recognition of both parents in child custody proceedings (including pending legislation to address this issue), Tennessee family law courts still tend to favor mothers in determining primary residential parent status. If you are a father seeking to be the primary caregiver of your child, you will need an experienced attorney to clearly lay out a case for straying from the established norm.

I am attorney Misty D. Becker. From my Memphis office, I offer knowledgeable counsel and compassionate support to protect the rights of fathers seeking primary residential parent status in a divorce or other child custody proceeding. If you are getting divorced, I can guide you through all aspects of the child custody process, including:

• Explaining the steps – A child custody case can be a long and complicated process. I will explain what you need to do to maximize the likelihood that the court recognizes you as the primary caregiver of your child.
• Filing for custody – Divorce or Family Law courts need to see evidence in support of your claim to primary caregiver status. I will file all necessary documentation with the court in support of your claim.
• Advising you after you file - Once you have filed for custody, you need to make sure that you continue to take an active part in your child’s life. I will offer continued legal support until the full resolution of your claim.

With 10 years of experience protecting fathers’ rights and guiding clients through a range of family law issues, I am a trusted legal resource for people and families throughout Memphis and Shelby County. To schedule a meeting to discuss your case at my Memphis office, call 877-327-1061.
