In children’s lives, parents are the most important factor in their growth.

Consequently, children tend to depend on their parents to safeguard and nurture them and
set
them on a path that promotes their holistic health (Yogman and Eppel, 2022). Fathers
now
play a bigger part in raising children than in previous decades. In comparison to earlier,
fathers now spend more time and engage with their youngsters (Craig, Powell and Smyth,
2014). There is limited consensus over how to conceive or operationalize active fathering
at a
period when caring is still gendered, despite a substantial corpus of research studying
facets
of fathering and its effects on children (McMunn et al., 2017). Crucial metrics of highly
involved parenting include engagement, physical accessibility, and responsibility.
Determining the amount of time spent together with the children better reflects the
father's
commitment and trust because numerous fathering actions are done with or in the
company of
the mother (Doucet, 2015). Such "solo fathering" is essential for creating
autonomous
attachments that are just not facilitated by the mother's involvement. It also
increases mothers'
confidence in their husbands' capacity to care for a baby on their own. A
father's subsequent
connection with his children is most likely to be affected by raising his children alone,
especially when they are young. The ability of mothers to encourage or prevent
engagement
after separation means that contact patterns could not entirely reflect the fathers'
planned
connection arrangements (Haux and Platt, 2021). The purpose of this study is to explore
issues fathers face with the family court and other services after family separation.
