In this video, we ask the question.... "Should a Dad consider work-life balance?"    Men use to strive to be the breadwinner in their home.    In today's society, the cost of living outweighs a one paycheck household, making it difficult for a man to achieve this role on his own.    Social Work expert Michelle Gentle (of Los Angeles "Welcome Baby Program") understands the importance for men to provide, yet urges them to be more conscious on how much they are needed in their home.     Join us as we discuss the importance from a child's viewpoint. (and Michelle Gentle's research studies)

Today, we talk about how can a father win visitation rights and getting visitation as a father by using better and more effective communication strategies. Join Rudy and the Authentic Dads Podcast as they discuss how to win visitation rights by being an effective communicator. Child visitation and custody arrangements are often very complicated and can be difficult to navigate. One of the most important factors in any child custody arrangement is visitation rights.

Today, we share child support enforcement stories and information on the Authentic Dads Podcast. We’re talking with Trish about her experience of having her child's father leave and never return.

Today’s discussion is about family court and social media. People ask “can Facebook posts be used in family court?” and the answer is Yes. Also, can a father's social media account affect his family court decision? Absolutely. We've seen cases where what the father has posted on social media has come back to haunt him. The general rule is that you should never post anything on social media about a family court case, period. Fathers have posted threats against the other parent, images of weapons, etc. If you do that, you will likely get an order of protection against you. We've seen parents post on social media after court saying they hate the judge, and then the judge hears about it in the next court appearance, so it's never good.

Today, we talk about getting served child support papers and the process of child support explained on the Authentic Dads Podcast. Getting served child support papers can be a shock to anyone, but it is important to know what the process will look like if you are faced with this situation.
