Of everything you face during your divorce, no issue is more emotional or more important than establishing your custody and visitation schedule. Fair or not, mothers seem to be granted more share time with their children than fathers. As a result, many fathers are at a loss when it comes to defending their parental rights.

If the mother’s level of control of the children becomes unreasonable, so as to interfere with the father’s time with his children, then the father’s rights have been violated. Parents are legally obligated to adhere to the conditions of the visitation schedule. A parent who knowingly prevents or interferes with this court order may be considered to be in contempt of court. In some cases, this may lead to an appearance before a judge to explain why this happened, or a change (modification) in the visitation schedule.

Fathers’ rights are outlined clearly in the divorce decree and parenting agreement.

Some common parental rights that fathers are frequently denied are: the right to visit their children during the appointed hours, as detailed in the visitation order. Fathers also have the right to plan and schedule activities during this time. Most importantly, fathers have the right to be free of irrational demands and/or threats from their ex-wives during this time.

If your visitation rights are violated, there are steps you may take. Fathers may obtain an injunction to prevent the mother from moving with the children without giving proper notice. Fathers may also alert the police if the mother’s actions are interfering with his visitation time with his children. Most importantly, fathers may ask the court to modify the original child custody and visitation order.

Modifying the custody plan will allow you to expand your visitation schedule, allowing you more quality time with your children.

Lydia Was a College Loner.
 
Lydia was always kind of quiet and shy, and usually kept to herself. All through high school she studied hard, but talked little. She was usually studying, or working at her job in a chemical company where she was an assistant to a brilliant scientist. Lydia had dreams of becoming a chemist, and was very intelligent and talented, but not very outgoing or talkative. She was simply the kind of gal who could spend hours and hours alone, and wasn’t bothered at all by her lack of interest in dealing with other people.
 
When she went off to a great university a few hours drive from her hometown, her folks just new that she wasn’t going to be making many friends, if any, and they also knew she would often be walking alone on the campus, whether day or night. They had even paid extra so that she could have a dorm room all to herself, without the hassles of dealing with a roommate.  Read more... (563 words, 1 image, estimated 2:15 mins reading time)

Budget is not going to play a major role in your gift selection, as your parents are anyway likely to accept whatever you choose. It is obvious that mothers day gifts would be different from a fathers day gift. For fathers day gift ideas, try to think a bit different. Don’t go for usual gifts like an ordinary hat or a t-shirt. Instead, if your father is a sport aficionado, then select a t-shirt or even a hat which has your father’s favorite sport team’s logo printed on it. That will surely bring a smile in your father’s face.
