Father’s Rights Advocacy
Phil Holman has been a leading father’s rights attorney for over 20 years and is committed to protecting the rights of father’s and children against the pervasive gender bias that exits in family courts across the nation.
GENDER BIAS AGAINST FATHERS IS SO PERVASIVE THAT OUR JUDICIAL SYSTEM ROUTINELY VIOLATES THE CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED RIGHTS OF DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION OF MOST FATHERS IN CUSTODY CASES
His efforts have led to legislative initiates aimed at ensuring that children have the benefit of both parents as they need and want.
Someday we will remove the issues of custody and visitation from the legal arena. Until then, we should at least discourage the view that a father’s primary role is to pay child support, and give equal or greater attention to each child’s need for emotional support from both parents, notwithstanding a divorce.

The Assault on Fatherhood
By Phillip J. Holman, Esq., President, NCFC
First they came for unemployed fathers
with child support arrearages
and I did not speak out
because I had a job
Then they came for fathers
falsely accused of domestic violence
and I did not speak out
because I had never been falsely accused
Then they came for professional fathers
and I did not speak out
because I had no professional license
Then they came for fathers
who wanted to drive
and I did not speak out
because I had no car
Then they took high school sports away
from unwed teenage fathers
and I did not speak out
because I was no longer a teen
Then they came for fathers
who wanted a no-fault divorce
and I did not speak out
because I wanted no part of divorce
Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me
