Time spent with children is precious, but some parents still are not getting enough of it. Unlike past generations, Massachusetts fathers now take on far more involved roles with their children, but many custody arrangements do not reflect this shift in society. Now perhaps more than ever, fathers are complaining that they are not allocated enough parenting time in their child custody agreements.
