I do not live in the state, and was not given the right to have the children come to the state that I live in nor was I given any holidays,Birthdays,vacation days by the judge. My question is can I take my case to the fedral level or fedral court because I believe my rights as well as my children's rights were violated in the most horrible possible.I want to inforce my rights as a parent and my children"s rigts to thier father. I have tried to work with the current judge to no avail and want a new court with a new judge.My wife was given full custody and I am not even allowed to call the childrenj on the phone. I currently live in Fla. If thier is any way you can help please do
Answer Dear Darryl,
First, let me say you are not alone. So many fathers aren't given the chance to be an equal parent in divorce. There are many sites that can help you! fathers4kids.org, ncfc.net, acfc.org, ancpr.org, mensdfefense.org- are all father/ male-centered sites with resources and chat rooms where you can read more about what you can do. Also Children's Rights Council (google it).
