The rights of the father must be protected once they are granted, and fathers deserve the identical rights as mothers. This societal shift is something laws have not been able to keep up with, but an attorney who specializes in the rights of fathers can help.
In Arizona, the law recognizes a father’s equal rights during both the separation and divorce process. Your previous full time work status, for example, will not be held against you when making a determination of parenting time and legal decision-making. Both parents, are seen by the law equally The courts are not permitted to favor the gender of one parent over the other.
In Arizona, when you are married it is presumed you are the father of a child or children. You have a ight to the child or children, including the right to participate in major decisions regarding the child or children’s life. You will still have parental responsibilities following a divorce.
Example: A father takes his child to the park. They are then disturbed by a police officer approaching requesting his name and ID. He is then arrested and charged with custodial interference. The police take his little girl away and return the girl to the mother. It turns out the parents had a disagreement earlier in the day and Mother decided to get revenge (and her daughter) by calling the police. Is this legal under the law?
Possibly. In Arizona, a father has no legal right to the child until paternity has been established when they are not married to the mother of said child.
In Arizona father has no legal rights to a child if he is not lawfully married to the mother of his child or children until paternity has been confirmed.
