Synopsis

Fathers Matter is the first guide written exclusively for fathers, to address the issues of concern to them and to provide information they need to enable them to try and maintain contact with their children. It is a user-friendly and practical step-by-step guide. Divided into three parts, it explains with clarity and compassion how the law affect fathers, and navigates the reader through the complexities of this area of family law, and potential areas of conflict. Part 1 deals with the family, and the emotional impact of separation on children and fathers and the extended family; Part 2 deals with the law: the choice of lawyer, the law in context, the applications that can be made, the legal process and the court system; Part 3 deals with recent changes in the law, and considers what the future holds for fathers. This book is essential reading for anyone who needs to understand how the present legal system has failed to address the plight of loving fathers separated from their children.

Review

Sir Bob Geldof said in July 2004: "I wish this book had been around when I went through my contemptible experiences at the hands of the Family Courts. It would have helped explain what was happening to me - This book is a timely, invaluable guide around the many hurdles and obstructions the Courts will put in a man's way to stop him being a dad to his kids. Read it and learn."
