Children Know That Both Parents Matter

Helping children and families to retain positive relationships after separation or divorce

FNF is the leading UK charity supporting dads, mums and grandparents to have personal contact and

meaningful relationships with their children following parental separation since 1974.

We offer information, advice and support services helping parents to achieve a positive outcome for their children.

Our online Forum and our network of branches also offer free guidance of solicitors and others familiar with the operation of the family courts.

Our helpline is available from 9am-10pm Monday to Fridays and from 10am-3pm at weekends. 

On Monday-Friday between the hours of 6pm and 10pm, we provide more specialised support.  The helpline is staffed by volunteers who have experience of some of the problems that you might be facing. They may able to give you information that will enable you to progress your situation or simply to listen if you want a sympathetic ear.

If you would prefer to talk to someone face-to-face, you might wish to consider going to one of our branch meetings in your area.
