On Father’s Day, most fathers get to spend time with their children, even the ones who are separated from the children’s mother. However, some fathers are prevented from doing so because they have a poor relationship with the mother. Where parents are separated, it is vital that they maintain a civilised relationship for the sake of the children. It is very damaging to children when they witness their parents arguing, or even fail to see a positive relationship between their separated parents. In England, the courts put the children’s welfare first so it is not about what the parents want or how the parents feel, it is about what is best for the children. Sometimes it is better for them not to have any contact with their father (or mother) because there is a risk of abuse, but in the absence of that, it is assumed it is better for them to have a relationship with both sides of the family. For fathers, Father’s Day is particularly important and the best advice is to have as good a relationship with the mother as possible to that there is no problem in the children spending that day with them.
