No one should have to face the legal system or co-parenting challenges alone.

At FAIR, we believe access to knowledge is power — and clarity is the first step toward confidence. What began as support for fathers navigating the legitimation process has grown into a mission to help families as a whole build healthier co-parenting relationships and find trusted, practical resources.

• Prepare important documents and stay organized

• Understand state laws and court processes

• Locate courts and mediation services
