Discrimination in Child Custody Proceedings
Determination of child custody should always be determined with the best interest of the child in mind. However, some rulings are made based on misinformation and, unfortunately, in some cases, prejudice reigns over reason. There have been numerous child custody rulings where custody was awarded to a parent who was comparatively less fit to care for the child. In some cases, children have been taken from their adoptive parents by the child’s birthparents through loopholes in the laws.
If you feel you have lost custody of your child through unfair discrimination, you have the right to fight the unjust decision that stripped your child from your loving arms. The Houston custody lawyers at Garg & Associates, P.C., can help. Contact us today by calling 800-242-2151.
Forms of Discrimination in Custody Hearings
There are many cases where children were taken from their rightful parents due to discrimination. Despite the legal protections in place to prevent discrimination on certain bases, individuals in positions of power sometimes continue to make decisions based upon bias or stereotypes. Child custody rulings should not consider the following:
- Race
- Gender
- National Origin
- Religion
While it is not easy to overturn custody rulings, it is not unprecedented. Overturning a ruling will require a committed and lengthy legal effort. However, we have no doubt that it is a small price to pay for an opportunity to obtain rightful custody of your child.
