Both Parents Matter Reviews 124

Incredible charity, that puts children first. They help guide and support mothers and fathers through the precarious family court minefield. Nothing can prepare you for the most difficult journey you are ever likely to take. Simple and straightforward cases often become a tangled mess in the family courts. FNF can help untangle that mess and achieve the best outcome for families and children.

They provided with all the information I needed

Membership allows access to support and good advice from fellow sufferers of an unjust and heavily mother biased system.
It demonstrates to you that you are not alone in your suffering which is vital.

FNF helped me through one of the most difficult moments in my life. The knowledge, experience, advice given helped me through the court process. I was able to draw a parenting plan which assisted me in how my child's future could be planned when people are separated.

Both parents matter and all kids have the right to see their parents, not just one.

Instrumental in my combating the effects of continued Domestic Abuse
My kids been weaponized and subjected to PA. Groups and quality of advice varies. I don't know how I would have coped without the Shared Parenting knowledge and empowerment from the peer support of FNF. Women are welcome in most settings. Gender neutral ideologies need development, also a more inclusive infrastructure. Green shoots towards this are developing albeit slowly.

This is an excellent and much needed organisation. Fathers get so little support but FNF are very accessible, have training courses to help navigate through the legal process to gain access/contact with their children, provide emotional support; engage at the policy and practice level, and provide uptodate information on important issues. Not only do they help fathers, but also other family members too, such as grandparents particularly paternal grandparents who have been denied access to their grandson by child's mother. FNF averts severe mental ill health and even suicide by providing much need, empathetic advice.

I recently had an experience with the FNF Families Need Fathers at the Bromley branch, and I cannot praise them enough. Their support system is commendable, and they truly understand the challenges both fathers and mothers face during separation and custody battles. A special shoutout to John Denbigh, who provided me with invaluable assistance and guidance. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone navigating such tough times. They are genuinely there to help.

What a amazing team i would have given up if this people are not with me to help me everyday what makes them great is they help isolated and fathers abused by the broken system. As father we are all not humans and no one wants to listen to men and help kids system is designed to help only false allegations and abuse fathers and kids at least there are bunch of dads who gone through or may be few steps ahead of the abuse you are going to get for being as men/Father( criminal offence) as a father and men you are default criminal. In the system you are guilty until proven so you will be in cell for no reason house and all life savings stolen from you legally with help of so called family court and most important you cant see your own kids as system see you as a criminal until(and if you are lucky) they dont find you guilty of the things you have not done. Even if you did not do anything wrong if women wants to take everything from you with help of so called family law she can and 99% men are not aware the moment women wants you in trouble there is no chance for you at all.

Hats off to FNF ...In a country where the system is alienating children from Fathers and helping break families, FNF doesn't just mean Families Need Fathers, its Moto is Families Need Both parents and it provides fabulous constructive support mechanism

It’s one of best charities that makes you feel you are not alone
And there are a lot needed to be changed in justice

Excellent sensible advice helping you through court without spending thousands. A Child focused approach to deal with the pain of the family court system and other parents who can be using the legal aid system against you. Additionally, friendly supportive assistance from others who have gone through false allegations and parental alienation.

Therapy and legal guidance. Monthly meetings are really powerful. You are not alone

A charity which helps parent in every aspect to ensure a child has both parents in their lives. Offering peer support, camaraderie, support for family court issues through weekly meeting held across many locations. Membership fee is minimal and I have been looked after very well by David Dunne - chair of FNF Harrow. Actually my daughter has a dad in her life because of this selfless gentleman. My salute to him and many others like this who run this fabulous charity. Thank you for what you do 🙏

I contacted Families Need Fathers (FNF) because my son was having difficulties seeing his children and he did not understand or know how to manage the family court system.

I found FNF to be extremely kind and supportive. They offered advice helped us understand forms and procedures and explained the process. The support we received was incredible and we will always feel truly grateful for the help. Even on a late sunny Sunday afternoon a member helped us with our questions.

I highly recommend FNF as they are knowledgeable understanding and informative, kind too.

I arranged a call back only to be told I need a solicitor. They explained that if I had put a contact order in when I was in hospital, it would have stated the ball rolling. I explained that I had no contact due to my ex blocking me. There is no help from these and even worse is the understanding of the situation isn't taken into account.
It was pointless calling the help line as there is no actual help.

I am a paid up member of FNF, I have been going through 8nyears of court hearing to see my son. I initially joined up after someone recommended them. The experience to get assistant has been disappointing. First they don't repaond to email, you contact them and cannot get a hold of them, instead you get a volunteer that will say we are only here to listen, we are volunteers for FNF. I joined before and decided to cut my membership bit joined up back last November.

You see news newsletters, they have their conference and invite bureaucratic baboons such as Head of CAFCAS, and others to speak and yet still nothing changes in the broken UK family courts.

These people are a bunch of criminals, take you money and give you no support or respond to you when you call. They serve no real purpose but take up space and should you visit a local chapter in a pub, you get promises and I'll advice. DON'T RUSH TO JOIN DADS, you don't get any form of help.

I wish I joined FNF before my separation as I felt alone and went into depression. I joined FNF soon after my separation. As heartbreaking as it was to hear what will happen, the delays in seeing my kids - they were right.

I spent £000's on family solicitors which in reality was pointless as FNF was all I needed in between the hearings. They have become a family to me now who support me and I support them.

Be sure to join them and get the advice and support. FNF Harrow thank you for everything
