divorce, you may have been handed the shorter straw without even realizing it.

that both parents have equal rights over the children until a court-appointed
judge declares otherwise. At the Arnold Law Group, APC, our fathers’
rights attorneys are committed to making sure that you understand your
rights as a father in a divorce.
