United Fathers of America

VISION

A society wherein attitudes and public opinion affirms children's rights to the continued involvement of both their mothers and fathers, physically and emotionally as well as financially. United Fathers of America believes such a vision will be possible when family court is taken out of the adversarial court process and developed into an information, education, mediation, negotiation and arbitration process.

PURPOSE

To enhance the quality of life for children, whose rights are often ignored during and after the relationship breakdown or divorce of their mothers and fathers.

MISSION

The mission of United Fathers of America is to enhance parental involvement in the lives of their children, physically and emotionally as well as financially, during and after the breakdown of their parents relationship, by providing education, information and empowerment to responsible mothers and fathers.

"The presence of two committed, involved parents contributes directly to better school performance, reduced substance abuse, less crime and delinquency, fewer emotional and other behavioral problems, less risk of abuse or neglect, and lower risk of teen suicide.

The research is clear: fathers factor significantly in the lives of their children. There is simply no substitute for the love, involvement, and commitment of a responsible father."
