Are you a divorced dad? Do you have questions or concerns about raising your kids? Do you need some advice? I’m a New York City family and divorce lawyer. Once a month, I’ll lead a group meeting for divorced dads at my apartment on the Upper East Side. I won’t give legal advice, but we’ll discuss practical questions and concerns about raising kids as a divorced dad.

Letting your kid(s) go with the other parent can take time to adjust to. This very recent start-up was founded to help fill that time/void and offer a social network while it's not your weekend. Get together with people who get it, for coffee and chat or commisserate even, and plan out fun things to do: movies, walks, hikes, picnics, whatever. *Our group will also include family activities as well as single parent time. Though we are based in Astoria & LIC, we welcome all parents from all over N …

The New York Single Parents Meet up Group is a great way for urban and suburban single parents to meet, get together for support, socials, conversations, dining or just having great time with our kids and new friends.

WHY DO FATHERING FORUM TEAMS EXIST? Fathering Forum Team meetings are a special time – and for some dads the only scheduled time - when fathers can open up and just “be themselves.” Dads benefit from the diverse perspectives and experiences of other dads, as well as from their careful and attentive listening. Dads also get immense gratification from contributing to each other, and knowing that their special gifts are welcomed and valued by the community. Although the challenges fathers fa …

The Fathering Forum is a place where Fathers go to be better Dads. It's that simple. We recognize that "Father" is a legal and biological term. But being a Dad is something else entirely. It is an embracing of the responsibilities of Fatherhood and an acknowledgment that we are fathers to all children, not just our own. The members of the Fathering Forum do not pretend to be experts; we are a growing grassroots team of men from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, opinions, beliefs, re …

We will be getting together as a group for fun day trips, along with a few weekend getaways. This is not a dictatorship... all suggestions are welcome for what to do. Everything from parks, zoos, museums etc...the more suggestions the more f …

We are here to make it easier for single parents of all ages and their children who live with them to get to know each other.

Divorce is rarely easy or pleasant but it can be a time of positive transition. You have a choice whether to be at the cause of your life or at the effect of it. You can be a victim of your circumstances or a leader through them. Does the way you view the world and the decisions you make determine who you are? Or, does who you are determine your experiences? My name is George Haskoor and I am both the remnant of a divorce as a child and a recently divorced dad. I've experienced divorce from both …

We are a group of Moms, Dads and anyone else who has the blessing of a special needs child in their lives.

Our vision is to create a safe and loving environment that will give both the children and the parents an opportunity to make friends and trade information. Of course, the kids are welcome and encouraged to join!

Hello all:) I wanted to start this group because I am an LGBTQQ single mom and would love to meet other LGBTQQ parents or parents to be. For such a diverse city, it seems difficult to meet like minded LGBTQQ parents that can meet, support each other, share advice and create a sort of extended family. If you are interested, please sign up and maybe we can get this ball rolling and have some fun! Play dates, parent nights out, and everything in between! All lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, transgender, …
