What are Parents’ Rights?
In Los Angeles and other parts of the United States, parents’ rights are often overlooked after paternity is established or divorce proceedings conclude. The reality is that if a father is not the child’s primary custodian, in addition to being responsible for paying child support, he has rights derived from that obligation. As a parent, your rights are broad and include:
- Preventing adoptions by third parties (such as a new spouse of the mother)
- Decisions and guidelines regarding the child’s care (where and by whom they can be cared for)
- Visitation rights
- Extended visitation rights
- Relocation only with permission
- Rights to holidays, vacations, and school breaks
- Consistent scheduled contact
- Rights to travel with the child
Parents’ rights exist to ensure the best possible life for the child by allowing both parents to actively participate in their life.
Are you looking for a Fathers’ Rights Attorney in Los Angeles, California?
At Progresso Legal Group, our attorney specializing in Fathers’ Rights in Los Angeles offers dedicated and compassionate counsel. We begin by analyzing the initial custody ruling issued by the courts and then examine each parent’s role in the child’s life and future involvement.
If you are paying child support and are being denied visitation, scheduled contact, or communication, or you are not being consulted on important decisions affecting your child, your parental rights are being violated. Our committed attorneys want to help you be the best parent possible. With your financial support, the mother and the courts have an obligation to recognize your role as a parent.
Enforcing parents’ rights benefits your child by having a committed parent in their life. Whether you are divorced from the child’s mother or have had limited contact with her, your child deserves for you to play an active role in their life.

Frequently asked questions about your rights as a parent in California
What rights do I have as a parent in California?
In California, fathers have the same rights as mothers regarding their children. This includes the possibility of obtaining equal custody and sharing time with the children fairly. You also have the right to participate in important decisions about your children’s education, health, and religious upbringing. If you are seeking equal custody, contact our attorneys specializing in fathers’ rights.
Does my sexual orientation affect my rights as a parent in California?
No. California law prohibits using sexual orientation as a factor in determining child custody. If you believe your rights are being violated, contact our fathers’ rights attorney.
Can fathers obtain sole custody of their children?
Yes, depending on the situation with the mother. If it is proven that the mother poses a danger to the child or children, custody rights may be revoked. Proving that a parent is unfit requires more than allegations. Contact our attorneys at Progresso Legal Group for more information.
What can I do if the other party violates my custody rights in California?
Your custody rights are legally binding. If they are violated, you can contact our attorneys to take legal action and restore your role in your children’s lives.
How do false abuse allegations affect my rights as a parent in California?
False allegations can be penalized by the court. If you are facing such accusations, it is crucial to contact a fathers’ rights attorney to defend your rights.
Do I have rights as a parent if my child has not yet been born?
Your rights as a parent begin when the child is born. You may seek custody and visitation orders before birth. Contact our attorneys to prepare.
What rights do I have if the mother wants to place the child for adoption in California?
If you are the biological father and do not want the child to be adopted, you must act quickly to contest the adoption. This may require DNA testing and legal action. Contact our attorney for more information.
