Dads' Rights
Nearly 24 million U.S. children (34 percent) live absent their biological fathers. Children living without the presence and guidance of their fathers are, on average, two to three times more likely to live in poverty, to use drugs, to be victims of child abuse, to engage in criminal behavior, to struggle in school, and to experience health, emotional and behavioral problems. To improve the well-being of America’s children, we must restore fatherhood as a societal norm in our communities. Listen, as nationally-recognized fathers' rights attorney Jeffery Leving talks about the need to elevate awareness of this issue, and offers solutions through interviews and audio essays.

Faced with the possibility of returning to prison and losing his chance to reconnect with his son, dad called attorney Jeffery Leving for help. The Leving legal stepped in to fight for dad and his son and won.
