Engaging Fathers Subcommittee

Goal and Logic Model – To engage fathers in all aspects of dependency and family law processes.

Statement of the Problem:  Fathers are less engaged in dependency and family law processes than mothers with regards to custody and parenting time.

Assumptions about the Change Strategy:  By transforming judicial and child welfare practices through the use of specialized procedures, the court will increase father involvement and reduce the disparity between mother and father outcomes, and increase the benefit to the child.

Meetings: Meets the 1st Thursday of the month at 12:15, through October.
