Just like you, we’re passionate about fathers maintaining a relationship with their children.

1. We get to know you, your situation and your exact needs.

Get in touch via this website and we’ll call you back to arrange a chat at a time that’s convenient for you with an initial consultation.

The next step is to arrange your Strategy & Planning appointment. During this meeting we’ll clearly explain the whole process and get the details we need to start your child arrangement journey.

2. We take care of all the technical stuff.

We’ll find the right solution for you and do all of the applying to mediation, the family court and even responding to solicitors with you so you’re not alone.

Our approach ensures you speak to someone on your level, with experience and knowledge of family law.

3. We guide you with clear next steps.

Once a child arrangement application is accepted by the family court we will finalise your position statement and help to take care of all the legal work, including what to expect from Cafcass and any orders from the court.

We’ll also be on-hand throughout the whole process to answer any questions you have and let you know what final steps need to take place.

4. We make sure our approach is cost effective and professional.

As a courtesy to you, we think you deserve to know in advance how much the job will cost, what it requires and that the cost for support is fair.

As a modern & progressive business we have moved all of our engagements to a fixed price agreement model. You don’t have to be afraid to contact us with questions and be worried about receiving a bill for your time.

5. We stay in touch.

After each family court hearing, we’ll give you a call to make sure all is okay and answer any queries you may have.

We’ll also be more than happy to chat again if you ever need support with additional court dates in the future. Helping fathers in child arrangement disputes to maintain or re-establish contact with their children is the goal.

    “After having lost contact with my with child and going through a very stressful time I was recommended to Shane and (A Fathers friend limited) to get my process sorted.

    He was very professional, diligent and calming because in these circumstances things can be very agitated and emotional and he was there for me anytime I have a question to ask or a concern to be raised so therefore without him I don’t know where I would have been today . Thank you again Shane.”

  • A Father's Friend

    “After the relationship broke down with my son’s mother, we couldn’t agree on the living arrangements. Social Services got involved, and during this time my son’s mother moved unannounced and I had no idea where she had taken him or no way to contact her.

    A Father’s Friend supported me with the process of gaining access to my son again as quickly as possible.”

    — Aaron, Leicestershire

  • Amazing Feedback

    “A Fathers Friend has kept me sane when needed and has guided me very well. I spoke to a solicitor over two years ago who quoted me thousands on a retainer before they would even speak with me. Within a week of my initial consultation with A Father’s Friend I had been through mediation and had a clear plan of action.”

    — Ollie, Bedfordshirere
