Confidently Navigate Child Custody—With Guidance Just for Fathers

Are you a father of underage children and facing child custody issues in a divorce/separation? Consider adding a custody coach.

Often the biggest issue in a divorce, and the hardest conflict for fathers, is who gets custody of any minor children. And what parenting rights does the non-custodial parent—usually the father—get to keep?

Now, let's explore what can keep fathers going through custody issues sleepless.

What is a Father Facing Divorce Commonly Concerned About?

1. Becoming just a visitor, not a full father, to his children.
2. Finding and affording the right lawyer.
3. The ending of a marriage he wants to continue.
4. The negative emotional and physical effects on his kids.
5. False accusations by Mom against him.
6. Not being under emotional control during legal proceedings.
7. A toxic mother trying to alienate his children from him.
8. The increased demands on his income for child support.
9. Taking physical and emotional care of his kids by himself.
10. Not being able to have successful co-parenting with his ex.

Every father's situation is different. Which of these ten concerns stand out to you? I offer custody coaching because of a passion for, and broad experience with, your passion to continuing being a full father to your children.

Why Hire a Custody Coach Focusing on Fathers?

Whether you start the divorce, or your spouse does, you have a struggle ahead trying to remain in your children's lives as a father. Over the last 30 years or so, judges have become more appreciative of fathers' importance to their children.

There is still a long road ahead. When it comes to Dad's custody rights, the legal system has been, and continues to be, biased in favor of mothers. This bias continues even though research shows clearly that children benefit most where both parents remain strong presences in their kids' lives.

There are three stages to a divorce.

1. At the start of a divorce, when the right lawyer should be found.
2. When court or other proceedings are underway.
3. When the divorce is finalized—but conflict may continue.

Your attorney typically can benefit you a lot, but there are gaps between what a lawyer can provide, and what a father's needs are. A custody coach can help fill in those gaps through any of the three stages—from assisting with selecting your attorney to practical advice to help in staying calm and credible for court appearances, when conflict continues after the initial custody decision—and much more.
