Fathers for Equal Rights, Inc.

Directors Welcome Letter

by Bob Lansink, Director

Welcome to Fathers for Equal Rights - Fort Worth. Our vision is that society will recognize the right of every child to have a healthy relationship with both parents,regardless of the status of their family structure. This website is setup for you to enjoy many articles and presentations at your leisure and at no cost to you. New articles and updated changes in the law are posted on a regular basis. This side of the website will be referred to as the standard Free Membership . Be sure to check back with us periodically.

We know that you have probably come to this website because of a very personal problem that you are facing and that your children are most likely involved. I have personally counseled with over 28,000 members in the past 16 years and I can assure you that knowledge, hard work, and love for your children is the formula to successfully get through your issues. We hope this website provides you with both knowledge and the courage to successfully use that knowledge.

On November 1, 2005, Fathers for Equal Rights, Inc. introduced a revolutionary new Premium Membership to this website. The Premium Membership is an incredible break-through educational tool. The cost is only $50.00 for an entire year. That's less than 15 minutes of time with most family law attorneys!!! As a Premium Membership you will be able to direct an unlimited number of questions to family law attorneys from the comfort and privacy of your home or office. The Ask an Attorney section, a function of the Premium Membership , allows you to get your questions answered by one or more of the 35 Attorneys that volunteer with Fathers for Equal Rights. Each question will be routed to 2 attorneys and answered within 1 business day. The Online Courses section, another function of the Premium Membership , allows you to listen to prerecorded courses averaging 20 minutes each on several topics relating to family law. We will be adding five to six new courses each year.

I hope you enjoy both the standard Free Membership and the upgraded Premium Membership . Best of luck with your legal issues. Please come visit our Ft. Worth or Dallas office soon.

New Membership Levels

Premium Content Now Available

Fathers For Equal Rights now has two types of membership available to our website visitors: our Free Membership and our new Premium Membership. (These are separate from our Dallas and Fort Worth office memberships.) I want to encourage each and every one of you to purchase a Premium Membership. Our revolutionary new Premium Membership is an incredible breakthrough educational tool (see some of the benefits below). The cost is only $50.00 for an entire year (That's less than 15 minutes of time with most family law attorneys!!), and the benefits are truly incredible.

For starters, as a Premium Member, you will be able to direct an unlimited number of questions to licensed attorneys from the comfort and privacy of your home or office. And, most important, you will actually receive an answer!

Another benefit of Premium Membership is access to our national online database which currently consists of over 600 father-friendly attorneys, private investigators, paralegals, mental health professionals, fathers' rights organizations, parenting organizations, state and federal agencies, and much more.

Further, as a Premium Member, you get unlimited access to our library of online audio courses on relevant subjects such as Enforcing Visitation, Domicile Restrictions vs. Relocation, Child Custody Evaluations, General Trial Strategy, Depositions, Here Comes the Judge, Parenting Plans, The Rights of Grandparents, Courtroom Demeanor, Parental Alienation, and so many more. These courses have been recorded by father-friendly attorneys and other professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in helping dads and their children. You can listen to any or all of our growing library of important titles at your leisure. You may even want to record a course of your own, which we will consider making available to our Premium Members worldwide.

All of the above, and much more, for an annual investment of only $50.00!! This is a no brainer!! The members of our Board of Directors, consisting of dads just like you, believe that the Premium Membership represents the next generation of service and support to fathers and their children nationwide and even worldwide. If you are a spouse, fiance, friend or relative of a dad who needs help, consider giving him the gift of membership. Knowledge is Power, and we aim to empower as many dads as possible with vital information about their rights and the rights and needs of their children.

As you register for the first time, whether you choose a Free Membership or Premium Membership, you will be asked to complete a brief, confidential questionnaire about you, your children, and your case. Providing this confidential information is optional of course, however it will help us plan new father-friendly features based on interest and needs in various parts of the U.S. and the world! Also, by knowing in what city, state or country you reside, we hope to be able to help fathers and their friends locate needed support or fathers' rights organizations and services. So, by telling us a bit about yourself and your situation it increases the chance that we can provide useful information for you and your children.

Thanks for visting the Fathers For Equal Rights website. Be sure to visit often since we plan to be adding new information and features regularly. If you have any ideas or special needs, please let us know. And thanks for your commitment to the fathers, children, and families of Planet Earth!
