Resource Center for Fathers & Families Legal Program

The Center provides resources that help men become better parenting partners regardless of marital status, to prevent violence and to provide the model all children deserve. As a result, communities, families, the family's economy, and society in general will benefit. Cases include paternity and child support reduction. The resource center works with both fathers and mothers.
