Fathers, Separation and Co-Parenting Policy Briefing Paper

On Thursday 23rd January 2014, Man Matters launched its third Policy Briefing Paper titled 'Fathers, Separation and Co-Parenting' in the Long Gallery at Stormont.  This paper examines key issues relating to fathers who have separated, or are separating, from their children’s mother.  It provides a brief overview of what is known about the effects of separation on men, the benefits to children of having actively involved fathers, fathers’ experiences of separation, how they seek support, and how other countries have approached co-parenting.  You can download a Portable Document Format (PDF) version of this paper at: www.mhfi.org/manmattersbriefing3.pdf
