BECAUSE FATHERHOOD IS FOREVER.
This book is written to empower men to know what their legal rights and responsibilities are. So often I find men have no real idea of what is expected from them, and more importantly, what THEY can expect from the legal system.
As a voice for men, I strive to be
direct, honest, and clear.
