About me:
Alicia M. Crowe, ESQ
author of Real Dads Stand Up
"He's just my baby-daddy," a common phrase made popular in a southern hip-hop song almost defines the role single fathers have been reduced to in today's loose family structure. While the wealthy have high-powered attorneys representing them in family court hearings, for the average father, navigating through the legal maze is draining emotionally, physically, and financially.
Attorney/author, Alicia M. Crowe’s new book, Real Dads Stand Up! (Blue Peacock Press, ISBN 0-9764772-0-3, Paperback $19.95) is an easy to read 230-page step-by step guide that offers tips and legal insights that every single father should know about child support, parental rights, and custody.
Real Dads Stand Up! was written to give single fathers a greater understanding of their rights under the legal system," explains Crowe who has represented fathers and mothers in family court cases for over a decade. She discovered that there are many men who wants to play a more active role in their childrens' lives, but are denied the opportunity, either by the other parent and/or the legal system.
Inside Real Dads Stand Up! you will find tips on:
" How to avoid the baby mama drama
" How to navigate through the child
support system
" Seeking custody and enforcing visitation rights
" Avoiding the pitfall of child support
Enforcement (incarceration/garnishment of wages).
" How to gain and maintain access to your children without going to trial.
"As a result of the way the system is structured, fathers face an uphill battle just to have minimal contact with their children. The legal system seems to emphasize child support over a father's right to co-parent his children," Crowe explains. " I created this book as a way to inform, inspire, empower, and challenge fathers to step up to the plate and become active, responsible, and nurturing adults in their children's lives.”
Currently a Deputy Town Attorney in the Town of Ramapo, Alicia M. Crowe, Esq. is a partner in the law firm of Crowe & Crowe with her identical twin sister, Alice T. Crowe. She holds a B.A. Degree in Political Science from Adelphi University and a J.D. Degree from Howard University School of Law.
Crowe is a sought after legal expert on the topic and has been featured several times as a professional expert on BETJ's "My Two Cents", The Wendy Williams Experience where her book was selected as July 2007’s “Book Of The Month,” Rev.

The book has also been discussed on The Tom Joyner Morning Show and featured on AOL Black Voices, My Brothers.com and more.
