Question

How are you doing father?

or

How are you doing Father?

Answer 1

If it's a proper noun - capitalize. I'd like you to meet Father Tom.

          Well, what do you say to that, Father Smith?

if it's a common noun - no capital. My father gave me the car.

          

Answer 2

This depends on how you use it.

Capitalization is needed if your sentence reads using "father" as a proper noun (i.e. "Father, will you loan me $20?") but not needed when using it as the subject of a sentence (i. e. "My father sells ice cream in the malt shop.")

Do you see what I mean?

Answer 3

If you mean priest/clergy then it is capitalized. If you mean parent, then it is not.

Answer 4

Father isn't normally capitalized, unless you used it in the beginning of the sentence as I did, or if you are referring to your actual father.

For example: Hello Father.
