What Are Parental Rights?
Parental rights are the legal and moral responsibilities that parents have toward their children. Parental rights can include the right to make decisions about your child's health, education, and welfare. They can also include the right to have a relationship with your child, including the right to spend time with your child and to have a role in your child's upbringing.
Parental rights can be enforced in court and can include the right to parent your child without interference from the other parent.
Do I Need a Parental Rights Attorney?
If you are concerned about your parental rights or the parental rights of your child, it is important to seek legal counsel. An experienced attorney can help you understand your rights and how the law may apply to your situation. An attorney can also help you pursue any interests you have in court, if necessary.
Common Mistakes People Make Regarding Parental Rights
Navigating the complexities of parental rights can be challenging, and individuals often make critical mistakes that can impact their legal standing and relationships with their children. Here are some common pitfalls to avoid:
- Failing to Understand State Laws: Many parents do not fully grasp the specific laws and regulations related to parental rights in their state, which can lead to unintended violations or missed opportunities to assert their rights.
- Neglecting Documentation: Failing to keep detailed records of communications, agreements, and interactions with the other parent can undermine a parent's position in custody disputes or negotiations.
- Assuming Verbal Agreements Are Binding: Many believe that verbal agreements with the other parent are legally enforceable, which is often not the case. It’s crucial to formalize any agreements in writing and, if possible, submit them to the court.
- Ignoring the Child's Best Interests: Parents may become too focused on their own wants or grievances, neglecting to consider what arrangements would truly benefit their child’s well-being.
- Disregarding Court Orders: Violating existing court orders, whether knowingly or unknowingly, can have serious repercussions, including fines or loss of custody rights.
- Not Seeking Legal Advice Early: Delaying the involvement of an attorney can result in missed opportunities to protect or assert parental rights effectively. Early consultation can provide clarity and direction.
- Allowing Emotions to Drive Decisions: Emotional responses to co-parenting conflicts can lead to impulsive decisions that may not be in the best interest of the child or might negatively affect a parent's rights.
By avoiding these common mistakes, parents can better navigate the complexities of parental rights, ensuring that both their rights and the well-being of their children are safeguarded.

“She went above and beyond”
Due to a misunderstanding, a warrant was issued in Alabama, even though we live in Virginia and hadn't been to Alabama for many years. We were apprehensive about the possibility of traveling to Alabama during these uncertain times. Luckily, Ms. Robinson was able to quickly and professionally interact with local law enforcement and the district attorney's office to get the case dismissed without us having to be there. Throughout her handling of the case, she went above and beyond to make sure we were aware she was doing everything in her power to assist us. We are deeply appreciative of her and her efforts and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone needing representation.- Lynn -
“Amazing and highly recommended.”
I contacted Ruth Robinson on a Saturday regarding a warrant that was issued for failure to appear. On Monday, she filed a notice of appearance as my attorney and filed a motion to have the warrant recalled. The court told her they’d recall the warrant and set a new court date. Ruth was very professional, diligent, and went above and beyond for me. She listened to everything I told her, requested me to send her several screenshots and filed the necessary paperwork to get the warrant recalled and a new court date. Amazing and highly recommended if you want or need someone who is passionate about practicing law and treating you like you’re a priority.- Terry -

I trust her completely and she has always worked hard for me. Better than any attorney I could ask for through and through.- Anonymous
