History:

Back in 1987, when the energy and activism of the Founding Fathers of our organization were being focused into a program of support services for divorced, disenfranchised fathers, the ALL-DADS telephone hotline was one of the many invaluable resources brought to bear on behalf of fathers' rights as parents to their children.

Over the years, this critical service has literally provided a lifesaving link of communications to thousands of loving Dads and other family members who call during the worst point of crisis in their lives. Because of family breakups, they are deeply fearful of losing custody and relationship rights to their young children. As W.F.C.F. members, all of us well know how realistic those concerns are, and just how important the encouragement and involvement of our organization are at such times of family failure.

The telephone hotline frequently brings us new members, and in return for a paid-up membership, avails all of our resources to fathers, including our counseling programs, our monthly newsletter, our legal referral services, our family law initiatives, and not least, the social support network of divorced Dads that often develops into lifetime friendships.

For the last four years, our Past President, James Novak, and our Treasurer, James Perry, have fielded the great majority of ALL-DADS inquiries, providing a desperately needed, dedicated level of early encouragement to countless fathers who love their kids deeply, although they are at the mercy of hostile, prejudiced forces in the legal system throughout family breakups. By providing them with the proper state of mind, we help these Dads realize that divorce ends adult relationships, but not a parent's rights and responsibilities to his children.

The ALL-DADS crisis line is listed as a father's resource in virtually every courthouse and family counseling directory in the state of Wisconsin. We'll continue to serve and support Dads in distress for as long as needed, for as long as family law and social custom continue to discriminate against men as equally worthy parents during the entire lives of their children.
