Fegans, now a part of Spurgeons, is dedicated to continually transforming mental health and has championed childhood since 1870.

If you are facing a separation or divorce, Advice Now has all the help you need. Their award-winning guides below explain everything you need to understand and do to separate or get divorced, agree arrangements about the children, and sort out your property and money.
Their advice will help you work out what to do and what to expect, reduce the stress on both of you, save you money, and help you get to a better place, sooner. They’ll show you how to agree what you can agree, and (if necessary) how to go to court about the things you can’t. They will also show you how to do it without a lawyer if you can’t afford one, and how to make everything easier and ensure it is fair by getting just a little legal advice if you can.

Families Need Fathers (FNF), founded in 1974, is a registered charitable social care organization in the United Kingdom that provides information, advice, and support to parents whose children’s relationship with them is under threat during or after divorce or separation, or who have become alienated or estranged from their children.
FNF also advocates for shared parenting, more time for children with their non-custodial parent, and stronger court actions when a custodial parent defies court orders requiring them to allow their children a relationship with the other parent. The organisation’s goal is that children of divorce or separation should not lose the love and care of one of their parents.
