Our chapter, "Fathers for Children" is here to help the following:

Fathers seeking a better relationship with their children.
Children seeking a better relationship with their father.
Men going through divorce/custody situations -- no matter how far along in the process you might be. (Yes, that includes men that have not even gotten involved in the process yet.)
Men that want to avoid going through the divorce process. (We highly recommend that you avoid it, if possible.)
Step-parents, trying to establish a relationship with children.
Second wives, who may be experiencing a variety of problems -- often because of outside forces over which they have little or no control.
Legislators that want to understand the difficulties created by our complex (and often conflicting) laws and court rulings.
Lawyers that want to get the latest information on topics affecting divorce and family law. (We often have this info before your Continuing Legal Education seminars get it.)
Police Officers that want to gain an understanding into the complex forces involved in family disputes, custody battles, enforcement of Family Court orders, immediate-arrest policies, etc. (Remember, many policemen are fathers, too.)
We now have some new features added to our site. If you want to look up articles related to various Family Court topics, click onto our Library page. And, if you want to pick up a few tips on how to do your own legal research, click onto our Legal page.
