Many think the courts are rigged against dads, but in reality, it is more about attorneys unwilling or lack the knowledge to truly fight for the father’s rights. This is why it is important to learn how to interview and hire the right attorney. It is also important to do as much as possible on your own and not pay the attorney to do it.

Start keeping a daily journal of all your activities. The most common way to prevent a father from getting his rights through the courts is a false allegation, usually sexual. Over 60% of divorcing father are accused of child sexual abuse, of which only 4% are found to have any relevance, but there are little to any fines for making the allegation. A daily journal is your number one piece of evidence in court and you can even refer to it while on the stand.

Gather evidence. Check the site below to see if it is illegal to record conversations with the woman. If your state does not have a law either way, than it defaults to the federal ruling which says one person in a conversation must know they are being recorded. In Missouri it is specifically legal, in Kansas there is no mention either way. If you live in two different states, and one has a law against it, than it applies when the call originates from within that state,

Now, you can’t just record, you also have to transcribe it into the daily journal.

If you want to learn how to do all this go to Dads House in Yahoo Groups. There’s an educational manual in the file section that can teach you what you need to know. The organization it came from is defunct due to attorneys that tried to take it over and make money from it.

Take the time to learn what you can and should do.

You need to focus on a couple of key principles here. To get the evidence that you need, you’ll have to do some of your own detective work.

1. Find out what the building code is regarding apartment’s. Usually there can be no more than 2 adults and a child making residence in a one bedroom apartment. They are probably in violation of the code as well as the fire code.

2. Get EVIDENCE of 7 people living in the apartment. That means surveillance video, pictures, names, etc…

3. Get EVIDENCE of her riding in the car without a seat belt through seeing it happen and calling the cops so that she can be cited for it.

4. Get EVIDENCE that she is not gainfully employed and that she cannot support her child financially.

5. Show evidence that he is employed and is capable of making the money necessary to support the child.

6. Show evidence that his environment is much more safe, secure, and founded so that the child can prosper.

7. Get a third party evaluator. Yes, hire the evaluator so that they can render a determination to the judge.

I’d personally say take a stab with the Judge and avoid the $20,000 becuase there is no guarantee the custody evaluator would decide in your favor either.
