Why it’s Important for Children to Have a Father’s Influence In a recent pair of articles on LinkedIn and Patch.com, I looked at the importance of the relationship between father and child. I strongly believe that more needs to be done to encourage the bonds between both parents and their children after a divorce or separation.

We have to do a better job of helping fathers to develop strong relationships with their children. Fairness in Custody Cases The courts tend to side with the mother in the majority of cases.
