A how to guide for fathers. If you have a baby on the way and are scared of the family law system, or think you have no chance at custody because you have been told so by many other people; then this is the book for you. Custody can be won by either parent. Don't let anyone tell you different. The main reason that fathers don't get custody is because they rarely try to get it in the first place. No one will hand it to you, you are going to have to fight for it.
