ALICIA M. CROWE, ESQ.
author of REAL DADS STAND UP!
Attorney/author, Alicia M. Crowe’s new book, Real Dads Stand Up! is a step-by-step easy to read guide
which offers single fathers tips and legal insights about child support, parental rights, and custody.
- How to gain and maintain access to your children without going to trial
- How to avoid the baby mama drama
- How to seek custody or enforce visitation
- How the child support payment calculated
- How to avoid the pitfalls of child support enforcement (incarceration/garnishment)
"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.
“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.” She discovered that there are many men who want to play a more
active role, but are denied the opportunity, either by the other parent and/or the legal system.
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.

active in their children’s lives despite the failed relationship with the other parent." Alicia delivered a similar message in her keynote address for the New York
