About 2-3 times a day we get a call from someone who is looking for a "father’s rights" attorney. It’s typically a concerned Dad who wants to play a role in the lives of their child.
Let me be clear: "Father’s rights" is for the most part marketing that preys upon the fears of a parent. Child custody and visitation in Illinois is supposed to be based on the best interests of the child. Are there times when the Mom gets a better result than the Dad? Absolutely. There are also times when a Dad gets custody over the Mom.
The reality is that people win family law cases in Illinois when they have an attorney that is truly a fighter and advocate for them. Good lawyers fight for the Dad when they represent the Dad and fight for the Mom when they represent the Mom.
Don’t be fooled by marketing. You give yourself the best chance of getting the result you want by hiring an attorney that focuses on family law, will work to meet your goals and treats your situation as personal as if it was their own. And that’s true whether you are a mother or father.
