Father’s Rights in Arizona
Standing Up for Fathers to Secure Fair Parenting Time and Rights
At Hernandez Family Law, we believe fathers deserve an equal voice when it comes to parenting their children. Whether you’re facing divorce, navigating custody, or seeking to enforce your parental rights, we’re here to make sure your role as a father is respected and protected.
What Are Father’s Rights?
Father’s rights refer to the legal entitlements and responsibilities dads have regarding their children. These rights include:
-
The right to seek custody or parenting time
-
The right to make legal decisions for your child
-
The right to be involved in your child’s upbringing
- The right to be involved in your child’s upbringing
Unfortunately, many fathers feel the system is stacked against them. But in Arizona, family courts are required to treat both parents equally. That means dads have just as much right to raise and spend time with their children as moms do—as long as it’s in the child’s best interest.
Protecting Your Role as a Father
If you were never married to your child’s mother or are going through a divorce, you may need to take legal action to establish or preserve your parental rights. This can involve:
- Establishing paternity
- Petitioning for legal decision-making authority and parenting time
- Modifying existing custody or child support orders
- Challenging violations of existing parenting agreements
Our team can help you take the necessary steps to ensure your rights as a father are formally recognized and upheld by the court.
