The Dawn Of Paternal Preference
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In the early days of American jurisprudence, prior to the 19th century, the courts leaned towards a rule of paternal preference. The father was seen as having a sort of “property interest” in his children, leading courts to grant him custody rights. However, as society evolved, so did the court’s perspective, gradually shifting the favor from the father towards the mother.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner offset=”vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-4 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-4 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12″][vc_column_text]
The Emergence Of The Tender Year’s Doctrine
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The Tender Year’s Doctrine marked an era where the scales tipped in favor of the mother, particularly when it came to the custody of young children. This presumption persisted throughout the child’s life unless the biological mother was proven unfit. This shift in family law placed a significant burden of proof on the father, compelling him to demonstrate the mother’s unfitness in court. If the father failed to meet this burden, custody was granted to the mother.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”22px”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mkdf_banner hover_behavior=”mkdf-visible-on-hover” info_position=”default” title_tag=”” title=”Family Immigration Lawyer”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
