Fathers' Rights

Nashville, Tennessee, Attorney for Fathers' Rights

Long-standing family law attorney Stanley A. Kweller does not advocate only for fathers' rights in divorce cases. However, he has a strong background in helping fathers pursue and achieve their parenting goals — applying all legal means available and taking the position that fathers' rights must be considered an important component in any family law matter.

The state of Tennessee specifically rejects gender as a factor in determining whether a mother or father should be the primary residential parent for the children. However, it remains the fact that mothers are more often named the primary residential parent. If you want to pursue primary residential parent status, or to aggressively pursue your goal of being more than a "weekend dad," you will need a plan. Contact Stan Kweller to speak with an experienced attorney who can help explore your options.

Stan Kweller helps more and more divorcing fathers whose primary goal is playing an active role in their children's lives. Common situations include:

• A father who has spent a large amount of time with children wants to avoid losing the ability to do so after divorce
• A father whose work schedule or other factors have prevented him from being as active with his children as he would like — but he plans to be more involved after the divorce

In both these situations, a critical part of your case is demonstrating to the court that you have a plan to uphold your responsibilities. Stan Kweller is a lawyer who believes strongly that fathers deserve the right to maintain and improve their relationships with their children after divorce. He can educate you on what it takes to pursue your goal of a fair arrangement for child custody and visitation.

In the divorce process, courts make decisions based on what has occurred in the past, together with information on parents' plans for the future. Stan Kweller is an excellent resource for divorcing fathers who are serious about having parenting time and having their voice heard in making important decisions. He can help you take steps to persuade the court your goals and plans are well thought-out.
