 Real Dads Stand Up: What Every Single Father Should Know About Child Support, Rights and Custody
By Jackie O. Asare, 4Sight Media Relations, Inc. - June 30, 2007
New York, NY - "He's just my baby-daddy," a common phrase made popular in a southern hip-hop song almost defines the role single fathers have been reduced to in today's loose family structure. While Alec Baldwin and Bobby Brown have high-powered attorneys representing them in family court hearings, for the average father, navigating through the legal maze is draining emotionally, physically, and financially.
Attorney/author, Alicia M. Crowe's, new book, Real Dads Stand Up! (Blue Peacock Press, ISBN 0-9764772-0-3, Paperback $19.95) is an easy to read 230-page step-by step guide that offers tips and legal insights that every single father should know about child support, parental rights, and custody including:
- How to avoid the baby mama drama
- How to navigate through the child support system
- Seeking custody and enforcing visitation rights
- Avoiding the pitfall of child support enforcement (incarceration/garnishment of wages)
- How to gain and maintain access to your children without going to trial
"Real Dads Stand Up! was written to give single fathers a greater understanding of their rights under the legal system," explains Crowe who has represented fathers and mothers in family court cases for over a decade. She discovered that there are many men who wants to play a more active role in their childrens' lives, but are denied the opportunity, either by the other parent and/or the legal system.
"As a result of the way the system is structured, fathers face an uphill battle just to have minimal contact with their children. The legal system seems to emphasize child support over a father's right to co-parent his children," Crowe explains. "I created this book as a way to inform, inspire, empower, and challenge fathers to step up to the plate and become active, responsible, and nurturing adults in their children's lives."
After reading this easy to follow guide, fathers will no longer be intimidated by the legal process.
