Advice and Support for Fathers

Families Need Fathers NI (FNFNI) is a support organisation in Northern Ireland for parents (predominantly, but not exclusively, fathers) seeking to maintain a relationship with their children following divorce or separation.  FNFNI hosts meetings where you can get together with other parents, and receive advice from more experienced members who understand your situation and can support you.  FNFNI can also offer advice on legal options if you need to go to court to secure a relationship with your children.  For those entitled to Legal Aid, or who are able to pay for legal representation, FNFNI can recommend solicitors and barristers.  For those who wish to represent themselves, FNFNI can advise on this, and can often offer the assistance of a ‘McKenzie Friend’ - a lay legal advisor who can attend court with you and support you through the process.  Meetings are held on the first Monday of each month, at 7.30pm, in Greater Whitewell Community Surgery, 878 Shore Road, Belfast, BT36 7DQ.  For more information, visit: www.fnfni.info  or Tel: David (0780 4909135), Jim (0770 2582136) or Simon (0799 0866640).
