Billy Graham once said, “A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets of our society.” That’s especially true of single fathers.

As a single dad, your situation may not be ideal, but your kids can still thrive and succeed.

Single dads often carry tremendous weight. Some of the toughest times in my entire parenting journey happened when I was a single father. But I have also experienced joy in my life that, apart from being a parent, I never would have known existed.

Dad Acrostic Dictums: An acrostic is generally a poem or phrase in which the first letters spell out a word. It will soon be Father’s Day. How many of these old sayings apply to you? How many apply to your dad?

In 2013, Michael Ray became the sole parent of his two-year-old daughter Charlie. Michael has since published his first book, "Who Knew", which speaks to his experiences as a single dad, exposing some of the stigmas men come up against in the parenting world.

For decades, conventional wisdom has said that marriage — widely recognised as the bedrock institution of society — is on the decline. But brand new research has challenged that assumption. If family is making a comeback, that is a huge victory for everyone.

A string of successful malicious prosecution cases could throw a spanner in the works of the huge false allegations industry. Fantasy? Perhaps. But a recent High Court decision gives a rare glimmer of hope. One small step for mankind. And we should celebrate this small success.

Many dads come to me in tears after losing their wives, kids – everything. I call it the empty time. It's not a pretty story. Nor was it meant to be.

This is a story about my bookshelf. Not usually that important, but all my special mementos, significant memories and special people are displayed on it.

A new book chronicles the Family Court's 50 years of destroying families and men's lives. It is a harbinger of the deeply flawed secular world into which we are sleepwalking.

John Stapleton has released a book exposing the 50-year disaster of Australia’s Family Law Act. I was profoundly impressed with the fact that his heart had not become hard and calloused in his over-three-decade fight against the injustice of the family law system.

John Stapleton's latest book, "Failure: Family Law Reform Australia", is a scathing critique of Australia’s family law system, timed to mark the 50th anniversary of the Family Law Act of 1975. It is a sobering tale of institutional overreach, human cost, and a democracy too timid to fix its own messes.

My new book, Failure: Family Law Reform Australia, was published on 28 February 2025. Warwick Marsh describes it as "a brilliant book highlighting the havoc the family law and child support systems have inflicted on the families and the children of our nation."

On 5 January 1976, the Family Law Act 1975 came into effect. It was passed into law by just one vote. This marked a controversial and historically significant turning point for Australian family life.

John Hirst’s long-form essay Kangaroo Court is an incisive critique of the Australian Family Court, analysing its operations, the social impact it has had, and the broader implications for justice and family law.

“Men on Strike: Why Men Are Boycotting Marriage, Fatherhood, and the American Dream — and Why It Matters” by Helen Smith explores the phenomenon of men opting out of traditional societal roles in an increasingly hostile environment towards masculinity and fatherhood.

"Family Court Hell" by Mark Harris is a harrowing account of one man’s ten-year odyssey through the British family court system following the painful dissolution of his marriage.
