Des Moines Fathers’ Rights Attorneys
Protecting & Fighting for Your Paternal Rights
Fathers often feel that they take a back seat when it comes to their relationship with their children. Whether you are a divorced father or the legally recognized father of a child whose mother you never married, you retain certain paternal rights by law. Your relationship with your child should never be threatened or diminished due to unfair custody or visitation orders. You also should never be subject to unfair or excessive child support payments.

Fathers’ Rights in Iowa
The courts will always favor the "best interests of the child," and so do not have a preference for mothers over fathers, and vice versa, when determining child custody and visitation rights. Fathers have just as many rights as mothers do under Iowa laws.
As a father, you have the following rights:
- The right to parent your child with appropriate visitation or custody.
- The right to make decisions concerning your child’s overall welfare, medical needs, education, and religion
- The right to a fair and equitable child support order
- The right to petition the court for modifications to child support or custody orders should you or your ex-spouse experience a substantial change in circumstances relating to work, family, or financial situations
