RESEARCH

In partnership with our sister charity Families Need Fathers we are launching an initiative to bring together research, knowledge and learning around the key issues in Family Justice. The concept is to create a 'go to' resource for anyone interested in the issues. We are creating Thematic Groups - each of which will have a specific area to examine. Examples include Parental Alienation, Child Maintenance, Shared Parenting and currently seven more. The research will be hosted on a new website provisionally entitled 'Family Law Research' - details of which will follow.

The success of this venture will depend on the active participation and collaboration of many volunteers from the UK and possibly abroad. A new website will be created as a focal point for the research. In the meantime this document explains the emerging thinking Thematic Groups brief

The charity has also produced original research on the following topics which can be downloaded by clicking on the links below
