Partner with your fathers rights attorney in the Kansas City, MO area

Missouri law states that in the case of a divorce, it’s presumed to be in the child’s best interests to spend equal time with both parents. However, it’s not always easy for fathers – particularly unwed fathers – to get the right to see their child. Christen D Shepherd Law Office understands this struggle and wants to help you have the time you’re entitled to.

As a child custody lawyer, I will make sure you have all of the information and documentation you need to present your custody case to the court. This typically includes having an on-file DNA test to submit, as well as other documents like an affidavit acknowledging paternity from both parents, a certified copy of the child’s birth certificate and any court orders involving the child.

While there are many details that can make your petition easier or harder, you can rest assured that as your fathers rights attorney I will have your back every step of the way. Meet with me, Attorney Shepherd, in the Kansas City, MO area today to get started.

Understand what the courts will consider

When it comes to child custody matters, there are several factors the court will consider if the parents cannot reach an agreement themselves. These factors may include…

• The wishes of the child’s parents, as submitted by both parties
• The child’s need for a meaningful relationship with both parents
• The ability of each parent to perform their role in the child’s life
• The interaction the child has with parents, siblings and other interested parties
• The child’s adjustment to their home, school or community

As a fathers rights attorney, I am very familiar with these details, so I know how to approach each case to pursue the best possible outcome. Discuss your situation with your child custody attorney today.
