Monday, December 26, 2011 Separated parents should not share custody of babies or toddlers under two, according to controversial guidelines released this week by a national infant welfare group, which seem to contradict decades of research and conclude the exact opposite.
Wednesday, July 20, 2011 Please read the following letter that was sent to Tony Windsor, Federal Member for New England, on the proposed 2011 child custody/family law changes currently before Parliament, designed to prevent most separated fathers from having contact with their children. The office of Tony Windsor has made it clear to me that they do not care to respond to the serious issues confronting separated fathers and children of separated families, despite being given ample opportunity to do so in response to this letter, and in previous discussions.

Sun columnist Jane Moore has been indundated with letters and emails from heartbroken fathers fighting to see their children. The floodgates opened when she wrote about a male friend denied access to his kids after a bitter split from their mother. In her column last month, Jane also highlighted the case of Idi Atiba, 31, who killed himself following a custody battle. She suggested the system was biased against dads when it came to agreeing contact with their children. Here, three fathers tell their stories and we also print extracts from some of the desperate letters Jane received.
Thursday, September 9, 2010 (Reuters) - A trickle of newly separated Swiss fathers looking for shelter and help after marital breakdown have been finding a warm bed and a sympathetic ear from a pilot project on the shores of Lake Zurich.Protestant pastor Andreas Cabalzar has founded Switzerland's first shelter for newly separated fathers in the Swiss village of Erlenbach, not far from Geneva.Unique in Switzerland, the project has seen the numbers of applications to stay in the house increasing every week."80 percent of the time it is the wife asking for a divorce and the children stay in the family home while the father leaves with his suitcases and becomes more vulnerable," Cabalzar told Reuters.The project began in September 2009 when four men visited Cabalzar to ask for help after separating from their wives. After leaving home, the men initially needed temporary shelter and a place to reflect on their situations."At the first moment everybody needs a roof and a bed and no man is prepared for this step," Cabalzar told Reuters.He said the problem pervades all sections of society and that he sees men from all walks of life hit by the problem.
