Establishing a Father as the Primary Caretaker: Overcoming Gender Stereotypes
Case Overview: A male client in his 30s sought primary custody of his two young children. The opposing party argued that his professional travel schedule and late work hours made him “unfit” to be the primary caretaker, relying on traditional gender stereotypes. Furthermore, the spouse demanded child support far exceeding the statutory guidelines by underreporting her own income.
Song Law Firm’s Strategy: We shifted the focus to the “Best Interests of the Child.” Our team compiled exhaustive evidence—emails, photos, and school records—proving the client’s active involvement in his children’s daily lives and medical care. We presented a comprehensive parenting plan that utilized a flexible work schedule and a strong family support network to address travel concerns. We also conducted an Imputation of Income analysis to prove the spouse’s actual earning capacity.
The Result: The court designated our client as the Parent of Primary Residence (PPR). He secured his right to be the main caregiver, and child support was calculated fairly based on the true financial standing of both parties.
