In this Episode: Hiring the right family court lawyer is one of the biggest decisions of your life. Many people think, "I need a lawyer". But that's just the tip of the iceberg. You can't just hire ANY lawyer. You have to interview many of them. You have to ask the right interview questions, to help you figure out if this potential lawyer is truly qualified to represent you. Not all family lawyers are the same. In this episode, I share many key questions you should ask to help you separate the good from the bad. If you make the wrong choice, you may be too far into your custody case, and they may do more harm than good...which may or may not be irreversible. Choose wisely.

If you’re a Dad fighting for custody of your kids in Family Court, you've come to the right place! I’m creating this educational series to help fathers get equal parenting time or primary custody in family court.

I won primary custody, only because of enormous effort. I should’ve had primary custody on Day 1, but instead it took over 3 years. We shouldn't have to go through that just to be treated as equal parents. My goal is to level the playing field since I found family court is obviously biased against dads. Therefore, I’ll teach you the strategies I used to win custody. You need to understand the system and how to fight for custody as soon as you can. You can’t wait until the trial is over.

Fathers should have equal parenting rights, whether unmarried or divorcing. You may be seeking temporary custody, primary custody, joint physical custody, 50/50 parenting, or legal custody. You may want a divorce lawyer. You may seek out resources from father’s rights groups.

Ultimately, you need to learn how to win a custody battle as a dad, largely by focusing on the best interests of your child. You’re getting a divorce from your ex, not your children. If you have a Restraining Order or Order of Protection against you, it’s an uphill climb. The Silver Bullet in family court can be deadly. If restraining orders are based on false allegations, there are ways to turn that around to your advantage. I did. But you must be assertive. You have to learn how to navigate the forensic evaluation, CPS children's services investigations, & family law.

Sorry you're in divorce/family court. But if you think it’s in the best interests of your child for YOU to have equal or primary custody, I’m showing you what I learned, to give you a fighting chance.
