International Directory of Fathers' Resources
Local, Regional, and National Father's-aid Groups and Informative Websites

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.
