Looking to Protect Your Rights as a Father?
Fathers in Oregon have legal rights to be involved in their children's lives, which cannot be taken away without a valid reason. But unfortunately, it is not uncommon for fathers to face discrimination and bias in family law proceedings, which could result in them losing their parental rights, time with their children, and even their financial stability.
This is why it is important to hire a qualified family law firm that specializes in protecting father's rights in Oregon. Our dedicated family law attorneys can provide valuable legal guidance, ensuring that fathers are treated fairly throughout the legal process. We can help fathers navigate complex legal procedures, negotiate favorable outcomes with the other party's counsel, and ultimately, fight for their rights as a parent.
By hiring us, you can take the necessary steps to ensure that your rights are fully protected, and your children's best interests are prioritized.

Family Law Testimonials
I needed an attorney for when I was separating from my partner and I have to say that Ryan was very professional and listened to all of my concerns and represented me well in both cases. I wanted to make sure that my kids were to be part of my life and Ryan was so helpful in finding a compromise between me and my ex. I got regular updates and never had any trouble getting in contact with Ryan or his team when I had questions. I would recommend them to anybody who finds themselves unfortunately in a tough situation. They just seemed to make everything easier to deal with.
- David, M.
I had a long, complicated divorce and custody case but Ryan & Megan were professional and handed it effectively and efficiently. My biggest concern was how this would effect my kids but the team were so professional and always stressed to both sides what 'fair' should look like. I'm incredibly happy that I chose them and I'm in a much better place now. Thank you so much!

Father's Rights for Unmarried Men
Unmarried fathers in Oregon have the same legal rights as married fathers in terms of child custody and visitation. However, establishing paternity can be more challenging for unmarried fathers, especially if the mother is contesting paternity or if the father's name is not listed on the child's birth certificate. In such cases, unmarried fathers should seek legal assistance to establish paternity by either signing an Acknowledgment of Paternity form or through a court order.
Once paternity is established, unmarried fathers can seek custody and visitation rights for their child by filing a petition with the court. It is important to note that a court will always consider the best interests of the child when making custody and visitation decisions, regardless of the parents' marital status or gender.
It's important to speak with a lawyer first so you can take the necessary steps to begin this process. Contact us for a consultation and get a professionals advice.
