Family organisations join to urge more help for young dads.

Young fathers need more support to help them develop and maintain a positive presence in their children’s lives, according to a new report by a coalition of family support organisations including the Fatherhood Institute.
 

 
In the report, Are we nearly there yet, Dad?, the Family Strategic Partnership (led by Barnardo's) plus a group of voluntary sector bodies (including the Fatherhood Institute) recommended that Government should collect data on fathers systematically, local authorities should appoint lead professionals to coordinate support for young fathers, and relationship support provision should focus more on supporting father-child relationships.
 
The report features six case studies of young fathers’ journeys through family services, from maternity services onwards - highlighting the challenges they face and the support they lack.

The Cost of Divorce....


Divorce Cost: Father Of Four Opens Up About 'Incredibly Burdensome' Split


After a decade of marriage, Dennis Kelsch's wife filed for divorce, leaving him with the "incredibly burdensome" task of providing for two households and paying child support for his four children.
 
On Wednesday, he opened up to HuffPost Live about his post-split financial hardships, including losing half of his earnings, his 401K and his IRA.
 
But those weren't the only difficulties he faced.
 
"Add that to the emotions side...and having not only money, but family and friends, split 50/50," Kelsch said. "So you have 50 percent of the people in your life who now dislike you and you have less of your money. It just feels like this huge chunk of your emotional and financial life is just swept right from underneath your feet."
