If you live in a stepfamily, then you know that you are often dealing with
the aftermath of a divorce - unfortunately so many divorces are so hostile
and horrific that they leave everyone involved nursing emotional scars for
years. This site encourages non-hostile divorce. Child custody,
child support, father's rights, mother's rights, parenting issues,
downloads, books, attorney listings and more. Includes advice on modifying
child support and forms to help, missing spouse location advice, parenting

available for free. The research center bills itself as having 5,000
articles available.

Separated Parenting
Access & Resource Center (SPARC)
Focused predominantly on fathers seeking visitation or custody
arrangements, this site is loaded with information. I have a reservation
about this site, which is that in situations where joint custody for a
child is not possible, it advocates for fathers as better custodial
parents than mothers. Seeing no research references to support this quite
controversial position, that makes me question the validity of the site.
However, since dads seeking custody generally get a bad rap, I am
including this site on the list. It provides online forums, lots of legal
information on custody issues and an attorney directory, downloadable forms, divorce
advice, and an excellent section on
gaining access
to child school records.
