Family courts make life-altering decisions for children and parents every day. Yet the public conversation is often driven by policy debates—not by the lived experiences of the families involved.
Father & Co. is conducting an anonymous, independent survey to better understand how family courts, child custody cases, and child welfare systems actually operated in 2025.
This survey is:
- Anonymous
- Non-partisan
- Focused on process and outcomes, not ideology
- Designed to take less than 4 minutes
We are asking participants to share what happened, not how they voted or what they believe politically.
Who should participate?
- Parents involved in custody or divorce cases
- Individuals involved with CPS or child welfare
- Caregivers, guardians, or grandparents
- Anyone who had a family court matter in 2025
Why this matters
Too much reporting relies on anecdotes or official statements. This survey will produce original, experience-based data that Father & Co. will publish in aggregate to inform responsible reporting, policy discussions, and public understanding.
No names.
No case numbers.
No identifying details.
Take the survey here:
The results will be published in early 2026.
Thank you for contributing to transparent, accountable reporting on family courts and child welfare.
