Navigating your divorce in any circumstance and life stage is very difficult. Navigating your divorce as a stay-at-home dad often comes with its own unique difficulties and challenges. The unique divorce difficulties that come with stay-at-home fatherhood result from the fact that, traditionally, women have been the stay-at-home parent and so the court typically grants child custody to the woman. Stay-at-home fathers, however, are questioning their custody rights in this matter, since they have been the ones staying home and caring for the children.

Fatherhood means different things to different men. Some cherish it; some find it a burden. Still, others will confront challenges to their custodial and visitation rights, as well as child support, during divorce. But, it all starts with an assumption of paternity.

Going through a divorce can bring out different emotions, many of them negative. If you aren't fully in support of the divorce or you have anger toward your ex for her actions, you may want to hurt her financially or emotionally. Your anger could cause you to try to take something away from her during the divorce or direct your feelings toward her or your child. Getting a divorce is never simple, but you can take steps to make the end of your relationship go much smoother.
