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 guardians through our unique peer support programmes to 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. Our job is to simplify what appears to affected whanau [family] to be a complex and convoluted process.

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