Interview by Dr. Melody Foxx and Logan Clarke

Jeffrey Leving spoke to Dr. Melody Foxx and Logan Clarke on L.A. Talk Radio about how fathers can stay connected with their children during and after a divorce. The guest on the weekly Answers for the Family radio show is the country's leading authority on father's rights, and he has written an insightful book called, "How to Be a Good Divorced Dad." His latest book has been endorsed by Francis Cardinal George of the Archdiocese of Chicago. It has also received high praise from President Barack Obama.

Who Is Jeffery Leving?

Jeffrey is a lawyer in Illinois who has been named by Forbes Radio as one of "America's Best Lawyers." He has written two other books on the topic of divorce and father's rights: "Fathers' Rights" and "Divorce Wars."

The Unique Challenges Faced By Fathers

During the interview, Jeffrey shared pragmatic ideas on how fathers can stay in touch with children and handle the accusations of ex-wives. He offered advice and dispelled myths about divorced fathers, who have often been maligned as absent, irresponsible, or alienated based on allegations by the ex-wife.

Millions of fathers are currently caught up in legal battles to gain custody of their children. In fact, it is rather frequent for the court system to drive away fathers, completely excluding them from their children's lives. After harsh divorce proceedings, countless fathers find themselves barred from playing any kind of parental role in their kids' lives.

Jeffrey supports disenfranchised fathers and encourages them not to surrender. Throughout his 20 year career as an attorney, he has aided dads successfully work through the legal system. He has shown fathers how to secure their own civil liberties, and also that of their kids. He has helped them during and after a divorce. He shared numerous stories based upon his considerable experience.

Final Thoughts

Because American fathers face a prejudiced legal system that frequently favors women, it is essential for fathers to display parental skills, defend against incorrect allegations of child wrongdoing, and identify ways to protect themselves against being alienated from their kids. Fathers also have to learn how to figure out when to settle as well as when to litigate. In addition, they also have to learn how to collaborate with psychotherapists and social workers assigned to their case.
