Somerset Fathers’ Rights Lawyer
Attorney Kisha M. Hebbon is a staunch advocate for parental rights and understands the legal challenges fathers face when asserting their role in their children’s lives. Whether you are going through a divorce, seeking custody, or dealing with an unfair support arrangement, our Somerset fathers’ rights lawyer is here to help you stand up for your rights and protect your relationship with your children.
Fathers play an essential role in the emotional, financial, and developmental well-being of their children. Yet all too often, fathers feel sidelined in family law proceedings, particularly when it comes to custody, parenting time, and child support decisions. At the Law Offices of Kisha M. Hebbon, LLC, we are committed to ensuring that fathers in Somerset receive the fair and equal treatment they deserve under New Jersey family law.
Fathers’ Rights in New Jersey
New Jersey law recognizes that both parents have equal rights and responsibilities when it comes to raising their children, regardless of gender. Courts are not supposed to favor one parent over the other based on stereotypes or outdated assumptions. Instead, decisions about custody and parenting time are based on what is in the best interests of the child.
In reality, however, many fathers find themselves at a disadvantage—sometimes because they are unaware of their legal rights, and sometimes because of implicit biases in the family court system. Our firm works hard to correct this imbalance and ensure that your voice is heard and respected.
Legal Services for Fathers in Somerset
We assist fathers in a wide range of family law matters in Somerset, New Jerse, including:
Child Custody and Parenting Time
We represent fathers seeking joint or sole custody and help develop parenting plans that reflect the importance of the father-child relationship. We also fight to enforce parenting time rights when they are being ignored or obstructed by the other parent.
Paternity Actions
If you are not married to your child’s mother, you may need to establish legal paternity before you can assert your parental rights. We guide fathers through the paternity process, whether voluntarily or through court-ordered genetic testing, and ensure their rights are protected from the start.
Child Support
Fathers are entitled to fair child support arrangements based on accurate income and expense information. We help ensure that support orders are calculated correctly and seek modifications when there has been a significant change in circumstances.
Enforcement and Modification of Court Orders
If the other parent is violating custody or support orders, we can take action to enforce compliance. We also represent fathers seeking modifications to custody or support arrangements due to job loss, relocation, or changes in a child’s needs.
Protection from False Allegations
Unfortunately, it is not unheard of for fathers to face false or exaggerated claims of abuse or neglect during custody disputes. We defend our clients aggressively against such accusations to protect their parental rights and reputations.
Your Relationship With Your Children Matters
Fathers have just as much right as mothers to be actively involved in their children’s lives. Whether your goal is shared parenting time, primary custody, or simply a more balanced visitation schedule, our firm works to preserve your relationship with your children and support your role as a parent.
New Jersey courts evaluate many factors when deciding custody, such as:
- The parents’ ability to cooperate
- The child’s relationship with each parent
- Each parent’s involvement in the child’s daily life
- The stability of each parent’s home environment
- The child’s own preferences, if age-appropriate
We make sure that the court sees the full picture—your commitment, your contributions, and your ability to provide a loving and stable home.
Challenges Unique to Fathers in Somerset Family Law Matters
Fathers often face uphill battles in family court. Whether due to long-standing societal beliefs, inconsistent custody enforcement, or parental alienation by the other parent, men can find themselves marginalized despite being loving, capable, and involved parents.
Common struggles we help fathers address include:
- Limited parenting time arrangements that do not reflect their involvement
- Difficulty modifying outdated custody or support orders
- A lack of access to children due to relocation or interference by the other parent
- Biases against single or never-married fathers
- Legal complications for unmarried fathers who are not on the birth certificate
These issues can be overwhelming, but you don’t have to sit back and accept an unfair situation. With experienced legal representation, you can overcome these obstacles and assert your rightful place in your child’s life.
