Fatherhood comes with rights and responsibilities. Unfortunately, it can be difficult for unmarried fathers to assert their parental rights, especially when the mother is uncooperative. At McCarty-Larson, PLLC, we help fathers understand and establish their rights. The first step is to contact our office to speak with a fathers rights attorney.

What Is Fathers Rights

If the parents are not married, the unwed father does not enjoy the same automatic parental rights as the mother of the child. According to the law, the father can be defined in a few different ways. The father can be a man who is either presumed, legally determined to be the father, has acknowledged paternity, or been adjudicated to be the father by the court.

According to the Uniform Parentage Act, a man is presumed to be the father if he:

  • NIs married to the mother and the child was born during the marriage
  • NIs married to the mother and the child is born before the 301st day after the marriage is terminated
  • NIs married to the mother before the birth of the child, even if the marriage could be declared invalid
  • NVoluntarily asserted paternity in a record filed with the bureau of vital statistics or promised in a record to support the child
  • NResided in the household with the child during the first two years of life and represented to others that the child was his

Parents have specific rights and responsibilities. It is important to contact a fathers rights lawyer to protect these rights, and responsibilities. A few of those are the right to spend time with the child, and the right to make decisions regarding the care, and education of the child. In addition to these rights, parents have responsibilities, including supporting the child.
