Leading Fathers' Rights Attorney Jeffery Leving to Deliver Keynote Speech at Seventh Annual Southwestern Fatherhood Institute Training Conference in Phoenix

CHICAGO, July 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading Fathers' Rights Attorney Jeffery Leving (http://dadsrights.com) will deliver the keynote speech at the Fathers and Families Coalition of Arizona 7th Annual Southwestern Fatherhood Institute Training Conference on Wednesday, July 20th, 2011, at 11:30 A.M. The theme of this year's conference is "Dads Make a Difference" and Mr. Leving will deliver the luncheon opening keynote. Mr. Leving's speech will focus on the "Importance of Co-Parenting and Healthy Relationships for Children."

The Annual Southwestern Fatherhood Institute will provide comprehensive training on diverse issues to enhance services for fathers and families. The conference will be held July 20-22, 2011, in Phoenix, Arizona, at 2620 W. Dunlap Ave, and will offer 21 concurrent workshops on fatherhood, families and marriage.

"We must educate service providers, the judiciary and legislators on the vital importance of the relationship between father and child. This is essential because the lack of a father's presence in the life of a child is linked to substance abuse, teen pregnancy, promiscuity and a host of other issues that greatly lessen a child's chance at a successful and prosperous life," said Leving.

Mr. Leving is recognized as one of the premier divorce and family lawyers in America, named one of "America's Best Lawyers" by Forbes Radio. Attorney Leving is the author of two groundbreaking books, Fathers' Rights (Basic Books) and Divorce Wars (HarperCollins). He has also co-authored the Joint Custody Law, as well as other significant family laws in Illinois.
