Father’s Rights
When children are born outside of marriage, it is important for fathers to establish their paternity. Doing so can establish the father’s rights throughout the child’s life. This also provides the child with the benefits of being able to collect social security, health care coverage, and inheritance.
In many states, especially in Utah, the court systems do not treat both parents equally when it comes to awarding child custody and support in a marital separation. It is important for both parties to be represented in a divorce and custody hearing. Fathers, especially, need to defend their rights to be a part of their child’s upbringing.
