Do you know that there are over 750,000 non-resident parents (of children under 18 y/o) in Australia? And this figure is growing by 30,000 every year.
Despite these huge numbers, successive governments have continued to ignore the serious plight of non-resident parents, in particular that of fathers who are regularly denied contact with their children simply because they have divorced.
However, we are a Majority, we have a Voice, and we have Strength in Numbers.
Sign the F4E Strength in Numbers Register now! Its free and nothing is required of you, but every person who signs helps us send an even louder message to Canberra that the silent majority have numbers and we have a voice, and we intend to use it!

Want to know what your local member thinks about Shared Parenting? The 2005 Parliamentary survey, read it now!
In Australia, the term "child custody" has been deleted from the legal vernacular, however it is still the most common term used to describe family law matters relating to children. Other common references in Australia relating to the issue of child custody include: child residence, child access, visitation, shared custody, joint custody and sole custody.
The 2006 amended family law act makes reference to none of these terms, prefering instead to focus on "lives with" as a reference to the primary parent, and "spends time with" as a reference to the old non-custodial parent. Further terminology introduced by the 2006 family law amendments include; family relationship centres, post-separation parenting classes, rebuttable presumption of equal shared parental responsibility, equal shared care and equal parenting time. Terminology un-touched by the amendments and used in the same manner as prior to the changes include; family report, single mother, single parent, sole parent, child alienation, child alignment, and "best interests of the child". Terminology starting to become more prominent in family law in Australia include; same sex parenting and non-biolgical mother.
