CHILDREN'S FUTURE

We are New Zealand's first charity created and run by parents who have successfully utilised the family court process to achieve a high level of co-parenting.  Along with our trusted professionals, we offer free community education programmes for parents in dispute to help achieve what is in their children’s welfare and best interest.  

 

Our main focus is to help parents navigate the emotional storms of separation and bridge the knowledge gap between guardians and industry professionals.  We assist with resolving safety issues and provide valuable guidance around workable interim and final parenting orders.  We give you the time and knowledge your lawyer is too busy to give you.   

  

Join us today and be part of the co-parenting movement to protect our children's future!
