Father’s rights can sometimes be an undeserving battle in court. In Colorado fathers are fighting more and more for their rights during divorce; in situations where the biological mother decides to keep the children away from their fathers; 
denying custody and visitation due to arrears in child support. While going through a divorce case, you might want to understand your rights, address work schedules as it pertains to getting a fair shake at parenting time. For unwed fathers, there may be a situation where you are denied custody and visitation. What are your rights? If you are in this situation, count on our help to protect your rights. The Denver family law attorneys at Watson & Associates, LLC offer vigorous and aggressive representation to fathers (single or divorce) who are trying to maintain a meaningful relationship with their children.
Protect your legal right as a father under Colorado custody laws. Your right to be a parent is just as equal to the mother. For example, simply because you might be behind in child support payments does not give the mother the right to keep you from your child. Although Colorado laws are supposed to be gender blind, the reality is that you should still have a lawyer to protect your rights. See our Custody FAQs.
Show that you want a meaningful relationship as a father. The key to a successful outcome is to show that you can build a meaningful future relationship with your child (ren). We can help you to accomplish this objective. Colorado laws may recognize fathers’ rights. However, courts will not be sympathetic simply because you are the father. To your benefit, we will fight for your legal rights in court. Our Denver father’s rights attorneys recognize that divorcing parents do not always get a fair shake. Our law firm respect clients that are serious about protecting their rights under the law. Our Denver attorneys can help with:

Establish paternity for newborns. Father’s rights in Colorado should be established after the child is born. You can ask the court to order testing. This can officially establish your legal rights to visitation, support as the case with fathers that were married. A single father can establish paternity and be afforded the same rights as child born during marriage.
Enforce existing court orders. Sometimes your father’s rights given through a previous court order is not adhered to by the mother. Having one of Denver fathers’ rights lawyers to guide to you through the enforcement process can make life a lot easier. Often times the confrontation with the mother on your own can be damaging to your right to ask the court for enforcement. Call our Colorado father’s rights attorneys for immediate help.

Protect Your Paternity Rights in Family Court
Are you in a situation where you are not sure if you are the father? Even if the mother acknowledges that you are the dad, if a child was born outside of a marriage, you should get the court to enter an order to that effect. Without legally establishing paternity, you have no legal right to child custody or visitation in Colorado. By taking a blood test, going to court, and establishing legal paternity, you will ensure your parental rights are recognized and protect your child’s rights. Contact our Colorado fathers’ right attorneys for immediate help.
What if you believe that you are not the biological father? You may be in a situation where the mother claims that you are the father. In this situation, even if you have a hunch that you are, you want to still establish paternity formally. A blood test or DNA test will confirm or deny that you are the father. Under Colorado family law, children born during marriage are presumed to be the children of the husband. You may have a limited amount of time to challenge this assumption. Call us to schedule an immediate no-cost consultation and plan for representation.
Your rights as a father are more than simply paying child support. Our Denver family law and father’s rights attorneys understand that as a parent, your legal obligations are more than just paying child support. In fact, some mothers believe that they have a right to deny visitation and child custody because you may be behind in child support. Our Colorado fathers’ rights attorney can make that myth go away. Child support and child custody under Colorado family law are to separate legal issues. If you need representation in such a matter, please call us immediately at 1-866-601-5518.
