New York Fathers’ Rights Attorney
How the Liberalization of Divorce Has Affected Fathers’ Rights
In today’s day and age, you may see that some American families have developed into matriarchies. Many fathers have been reduced to nothing more than sperm donors, and are left fighting for the right to be a full-fledged parent. The men’s and fathers’ rights movements draw energy from this cultural disruption. The liberalization of divorce, which removed the concept of fault from a marital breakdown, has also made it easier for one spouse to end their marriage against the wishes of the other.
While no-fault divorce has opened the door for many people to escape “loveless marriages,” fathers have contended that the liberalization of divorce has put men at an unfair advantage – particularly in the areas of child custody, visitation, and support. Ultimately, the collision between fathers’ rights and a heightened sense of women’s independence has politicized marriage and family law. The result is that men and fathers are left feeling not only threatened, but victimized.
Creating Better Solutions Through Divorce Mediation
For some fathers, unwanted divorce and non-custodial parenthood have undermined their involvement in the lives of their children. Many feel as through their roles have been reduced to that of an occasional visitor – which is devastating not only for fathers, but also for their children. The fact of the matter is that the road to divorce is never easy, even when the divorce is uncontested and mutual.
When children are involved, seeking a divorce can be significantly more complicated. At Lois M. Brenner, Esq., we believe that divorce mediation can help pave the way to better relationships, not only between divorcing spouses, but between parents and their children. In fact, more and more of our clients are using mediation to create parenting schedules that favor a health relationship with both parents. It can be surprisingly and stunningly effective with Lois Brenner’s help.
Divorce mediation makes it possible for fathers to be more than just an “occasional visitor.” Find out if this process is right for you by calling our New York divorce attorney at (646) 663-4546.

When my daughter was sideswiped and served with a summons by her husband we called Lois Brenner. I had met Lois when she was giving a seminar on Marriage and Finances. I thought she was really smart. I never dreamt I would be calling her to help my daughter. When we went to see her she put our minds at ease. We immediately knew she was the attorney for us. She managed to negotiate a really good settlement with my son-in-law’s attorney. She was tough and always returned our phone calls and responded immediately to our emails. We even heard from her on weekends!! She was determined to keep us out of court and guided us every step of the way. She was our Angel!!! Mary B.- Mary B

I met Lois Brenner at a networking group. She spoke on divorce and mediation. At the time I was not in need of a divorce attorney but was so impressed I kept her information. Two years later I hired Lois Brenner and I am finally separated from a man who nearly destroyed my life. Although we were able to do this with her in mediation, it was not easy for me. She really kept me strong, and on top of myself. She was helpful with both of us, and encouraged each of us when needed. It was much better than going through the court system. It took a lot less time and saved us money too. I can’t say enough about her. She is a special attorney. I tell everyone who will listen how special she is.- Pilar

We were looking for a mediator to help us with visitation issues we were having due to the pandemic. With all the problems we were having getting the kids back and forth, and arguing about taking trains and buses during visitations, we called Lois Brenner to help us make some decisions. She really set us straight. She spent a lot of time with us so we could get a parenting agreement together to set some rules we could both agree to. I feel a lot better now. Thank you Ms. Brenner.- Dina

You two are really the dynamic duo! I can’t thank you both enough for the incredible job you did on my case. As a young career woman and working mother of a toddler I could not have been in better hands. You really toughened me up and guided me when I was feeling really lost. I was afraid of my husband’s clever antics but you worked hard on my case and encouraged me to fight. The settlement I received exceeded my expectations. You both listened, always returned e-mails, phone calls and even reached out to me on the weekends when I was having trouble. If anyone is going through a divorce and needs the best people to fight for you call Lois and Matt. It was the best thing I ever did. There are no words to express how grateful I am.- Tara P.
