Still Their Dad

Calm, plain-English help for dads going through separation and the family court. Information you can actually use, not legal advice, and not a fight.

The children come first, including in how you act

The family court’s whole job is the child’s welfare. The dads who do well are the calm, reasonable, child-focused ones. This site is built around that, not around “winning”.

Plain English, not jargon

What a MIAM is. What a consent order does. What actually happens at a hearing. Written for a dad reading it at 11pm, not for lawyers.

Wording you can borrow

Example messages and letters you can adapt: proposing arrangements, replying calmly to a difficult message, asking the school to keep you in the loop.

Where to get the real help

Every page points you to the official and regulated sources, so you’re never relying on one stranger’s website for something this important.
