Best Atlanta Fathers Rights

About 140,000 children are adopted every year, and it’s likely you have read an article about the struggles a mother faces throughout her life because of a very personal, heart-wrenching decision to give a child up for adoption.

However, what is often omitted is how the father's rights were ignored as those men were denied the opportunity to exercise any custody rights.

In the last few decades, the antiquated belief that a father could not raise children alone has provoked almost every state, including Georgia, to provide for dads rights of minor children subject to adoption. Yet there is still not enough protection of fathers' rights in Athens.

Although the law has come a long way from the antiquated views that afforded fathers no rights in objecting to an adoption, the rules of the game still depend largely on the willingness of the mother to disclose the father’s identity.

In fact, the only other way a putative father in Georgia, who does not know that he is a parent, can receive notice of an adoption proceeding is to sign up on the state registry.

If he does not, he will not receive notice of adoption actions, the mother will not have to obtain his consent to an adoption, the state will presume he abandoned the child, the state may terminate his parental rights, and he will be barred from declaring himself the father in a paternity action.

I believe it is important to provide prospective clients with knowledge of a full range of legal options and information about Georgia law. An initial consultation allows me to learn about you, your family and the circumstances you are currently facing. 

It also allows you to learn more about my experience and the manner in which I will represent you. At the consultation, I answer your questions and give you information about how to proceed. 

I will spend the amount of time necessary for you to fully understand your rights and options. In order to schedule or learn more about an initial consultation, please feel free to contact Athens GA Father Rights Lawyer at (706) 546-0999 or fill out the form.
