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.

A Chicago father’s worst fear came true. Out of the blue, the mother of his child disappeared with his son—no notice, no goodbye, no trace of where they were. Terrified that she had left Illinois and determined not to lose his child forever, this devoted father turned to attorney Jeffery M. Leving for help. The Leving legal team fought for them and won, securing a court order for the child’s return to Illinois, reuniting father and son, and securing parenting time for dad.
