International
Directory of Fathers' Resources |
The links below are to local, regional, and national organizations which provide information or help to fathers and their children in many countries all over the world. Institutional Affiliates of World Fathers Union are marked with an asterisk (*) and are shown in bold type. Others are not yet affiliated with the Union but may offer more specific local information or resources than the Union can provide for fathers in the areas that they serve.
Some organisations (including those using the names 'Fathers 4 Justice' and 'F4J') operate in several jurisdictions and have regional or local chapters. For these, the parent organisation is listed in the master table below with a link to a separate page where you will find listings of the chapters.
| Please
note: We do not provide links to so-called
fathers-rights websites run by divorce lawyers
(or anyone else) whose primary purpose is to sell
merchandise or services. Free court and law
advice services, legal aid societies providing
pro-bono services for low-income clients, and
other genuine, non-commercial law sites are welcomed
so long as their primary goal is not to promote
or recruit for a commercial divorce law firm,
or to sell worthless 'self-help' books or 'miracle
cure systems' for divorce troubles. If you have a bad experience with any
organisation listed on our site,
please let us know immediately and we will investigate. If necessary we will remove the link and post a warning notice in its place. Send your complaint to the Webmaster using this form. |
If
you know of an organisation not listed here which
you think should be, please send a link to the Webmaster
using this form. We also ask you to inform
us of any 'broken links' or e-mail addresses on this page which
do not work. While all links and addresses were functional
at the time we posted them, we do not have sufficient
staff to check this many resources on a daily basis. Thus we
depend, as always, on our members and visitors to help keep
this list current. Click
here to tell us about broken links.
