About Fair Go Dads
Who we are
Fair Go Dads is an independent, free information service for separating dads in Australia. We help you understand how family law and the separation process work, so you can focus on what matters most: your kids.
What we are, and what we're not
- Free and independent. We're not a government agency.
- Not a law firm. We give general information, not legal advice, and we don't act for anyone. For advice about your situation, speak to a lawyer or Legal Aid.
- AI-assisted. Fair Go Dads uses an automated AI assistant. It gives general information only. It is not a person and not a lawyer.
- Not a counselling service. If you need to talk to someone, the numbers on our Looking after yourself page are there for you, any time.
Safety first
Your safety, and the safety of your kids and everyone else involved, comes before anything else. If you or anyone else is in danger, call 000. If things feel too heavy, you can call Lifeline on 13 11 14 or MensLine on 1300 78 99 78, any time.
