Yes. The "'times they are a-changin'". There are numerous men's organizations that assist father's to gain equal rights concerning the custody, visitation and support of their children regardless of whether it pertains to children born of a marriage or otherwise. Please be advised, unfortunately some such organizatons are classic "ripoffs" and you should always do extensive research before becoming involved especially where any amount of payment is involved.

Is there any possibility of you getting primary custody of your ex-husband's nephew if you've both had legal custody of the child since he was 2 days old and the nephew's mother is in prison?
You will need a good lawyer for this and you will have to prove he's an unfit guardian or father. The courts favor leaving the child with their biological parents(s) if possible. If you're lawyer is good and knows some previous cases he may just have the courts lean in your favor. If your ex is good to his nephew then you don't stand a chance. Marcy

Could a narcissist evade diagnosis by a very intelligent psychologist child custody evaluator who did administer the MMPI and did state he was devoid of empathy but did not diagnose narcissism?
* No, the Narcissist can't hide what he/she is by most psychologists or psychiatrists. You may get total custody in your favor just by what the psychologist has diagnosed you're ex with, but beware .. in turn he can be evaluated by a psychologist (orders by his lawyer that his client .. your ex have an evaluation) and you could come up with a stalemate! http://personalitydisorders.suite101.com/article.cfm/narcissistpsychopath

Fathers Custody Rights?
There are many misconceptions concerning child custody and fathers. Custody of a dependent child is an issue when parents separate or a child is born to a couple who is already separated. In the past, the common trend was for mothers to stay home and care for the children while the father worked. Divorce rates were lower and fathers who faced the issue could be sure they would not receive custody. During the past several decades, women have begun to enter the workplace in larger numbers and many fathers find themselves taking care of children also. Courts have adjusted their rulings to allow for these situations. Although common belief is that fathers do not have a chance of getting custody, even if they are the more suitable parent, they do have a good chance in today’s legal system. If a father is able to prove that the living condition he can offer the children is better, he will often be awarded custody. Children who are old enough to decide who they want to live with will usually be able to choose; more children are choosing to live with their fathers in several cases. Initial custody hearings generally do end with the mother gaining custody in most states. This ruling may be appealed and will require the help of a father’s rights attorney. Fathers should never believe that their case is hopeless; a father who is concerned about the well-being of their child should pursue custody. Even if sole custody is not sought, joint custody may also be granted. Some judges give an unfavorable ruling against a father initially. Appealing for joint custody instead of visitation will usually result in a positive change in the father’s favor. Courts look more favorably upon fathers who have an active interest in their children’s lives and show a desire to be a part of them. The worst possible thing a father wanting custody could do is to simply give up. With the help of a good father’s rights attorney and investment of time and effort, fathers may earn more custody or win sole custody of their children. In the eyes of the law, children who are not dependent upon their mothers, such as a breast-feeding infant, are eligible to fall in the custody of either parent. Legal proceedings and decisions must be fair and unbiased, meaning several court appearances may be necessary to win.

Why should the moms be awarded custody?
They shouldn't not automatically and the present day courts do not necessarily favor the mother over the father.

How do you get a court order for a child not to leave the states without the fathers consent?
Have your divorce attorney file a motion with the custody judge. You'll need a good reason, though. Fear of flight, fear for the child's safety, travel to country's that favor one parent's rights over the other (like Saudi Arabia, for example, which would favor the father's rights above all).
Fathers Rights Advocacy?
With society’s increasing shift of parental responsibilities toward fathers, courts are becoming more sympathetic toward them. Laws provide for equal treatment of both parents and decisions regarding custody, child support, restraining orders and other related issues must be made fairly. In the past, fathers were seldom granted custody and were given minimal visitation rights. Their main support for the children was financial. Society has evolved today to recognize that fathers have the right to seek custody when they feel they are more fit than the mother. Very few courts will rule unfairly upon a case that has been appealed. Initial custody or child support rulings may be unfavorable, but first rulings are not set in stone. The most important thing to remember is that fathers should not give up their battle. Gaining desirable results may involve several court hearings. Father’s rights advocacy agencies and groups exist today to help fathers deal with legal issues related to the custody and child support of their kids. Father’s advocacy groups formed because fathers were being treated unfairly. Several fathers who pioneered the field in battling for unfavorable child support and custody rulings have influenced the formation of these groups. Dadsrights.com is one of the most popular groups and provides many different resources. Advocacy groups involve attorneys and other professionals who are dedicated to helping fathers who face legal problems with child rights. Advocate plans are usually paid in advance, giving the concerned father the option to contact the group leader any time during their membership period to receive advice and answers to issues they face. These plans are beneficial especially for fathers who anticipate numerous obstacles. Mothers who file unnecessary restraining orders, continually seek out court punishment or purposely make trouble for the father are all signs that an advocacy group is needed. Even if problems are not anticipated, an advocacy group will still be useful for providing answers when they are needed. It may be considered as a form of insurance - it may or may not be needed, but having it when a problem arises outweighs the detriments of going without it. Advocates are dedicated only to the purpose of helping fathers. Some custody and child support cases may start off smoothly and later evolve into a messy and problematic situation. Advocates keep up-to-date information and may be able to help fathers with new laws and regulations enacted in their favor.
