Fighting for Father's Rights in Child Custody Cases

Fathers want to be part of their children's lives and involved with the day-to-day activities like schoolwork, sports and healthcare decisions. Unfortunately, courts rely on the default of giving custody to mothers while fathers are granted visitation on every other weekend. This process often begins with a bias against fathers.

To level the playing field, fathers need to fight back. I am lawyer Kristine Braswell-Amin and I represent fathers in Los Angeles County who are involved in child custody disputes. Together we can make sure your voice is heard in court. E-mail me or call me at 310-997-0339 to schedule a free initial consultation. I personally answer and respond to your phone calls.

Giving Your Case Personal Attention

My firm offers its clients the accessibility and personal attention that larger firms generally do not. By handling a select number of cases at any given time, I can give every case the time and effort it truly needs. I will take great care with the individual details of your case, and I will not pursue lengthy legal battles without purpose and intent.

Understanding the History of Custody Cases

The "Tender Years Doctrine" is an old legal doctrine stating that young children should be cared for by their mother while the father earns a paycheck. Although the California Family Code states that custody is gender neutral, the precedent set by the Tender Years Doctrine has been tough to overcome. Though we have made great strides in gender equality in the many years since the Tender Years Doctrine was first applied, the practical reality is that custody is not gender neutral.

This burden, however, is slowly beginning to change. I advocate for fathers under the presumption that the father should be awarded an equal 50-50 split in custody and visitation, unless one of the parties acts in way that is not in the best interest of the child.
