You're still their dad.

Separation is hard, and the advice out there is often angry or confusing. This is the calm, plain-English version, and it starts with the children.

Plain English

What a MIAM is, what a consent order does, what actually happens at a hearing. Written for a tired dad, not for lawyers.

Child-first

Everything is built around the children's welfare, which is also what actually works in front of the family court.

Information, not a fight

No anti-mum language, no point-scoring, no "how to win". Just what you need to stay calm and steady.

Where to start

Find the bit you need

Where the children will live How child arrangements work, and the approach that actually helps in front of the family court. Helping the children cope What helps children through separation, and what quietly harms them. Talking to the other parent How to message so things get agreed, not inflamed. Drawn from real experience. Child maintenance How maintenance is worked out, including the overnight reductions, and why it stays separate from contact.

Calm, reasonable, child-focused. The dads who do well are the steady ones, and that is what this is here to help you be.

Who's behind it

Built by someone who has been through it

Still Their Dad is small and independent, run by a dad who has been through separation himself. No grievance, no point-scoring, just the calm, useful version of this information.
