Parental Guidance
Keeping Contact After Divorce - Families Need Fathers
Families Need Fathers is a registered UK charity which provides information and support to parents, including unmarried parents, of either sex. FNF is chiefly concerned with the problems of maintaining a child's relationship with both parents during and after family breakdown. Founded in 1974, FNF helps thousands of parents every year.
FNF receives no core funding and is reliant upon membership subscriptions and donations for its continued existence. The annual subscription costs less than a few minutes of a solicitor's time, and gives access to a wide range of information and support that is beyond the scope of some lawyers. We have a rapidly growing number of grandparents and women members.
Aims:
- Children have a right to a continuing loving relationship with both parents
- Children need to be protected from the harm of losing contact with one parent
- Both parents should be treated equally and shared parenting should be encouraged
- Each parent has a unique contribution to make to their children's development
- The Family Courts should be backed by a nationally funded mediation service
- We work to increase awareness of the problems of family breakdown
- We produce booklets, leaflets, a website and a regular newsletter
- We provide speakers and case studies for the press and media
- We collate and promote relevant research information
- We participate in family policy forums and seminars
- We lobby Parliament and the legal profession
- We provide support to members through our online information exchange
- We have a network of volunteer telephone contacts and local branches
