About Fatherand.Co

Fatherand.Co is a storytelling and advocacy platform dedicated to rebuilding the image—and reality—of modern fatherhood. Founded by journalist and advocate Michael Phillips, the publication explores the intersections of family, justice, disability, and equal parenting through investigative reporting, personal essays, and reform-focused commentary.

We give voice to fathers navigating impossible systems—courts, schools, and bureaucracies that too often silence or sideline them. Our mission is simple but urgent: to restore balance, expose bias, and rebuild the bond between fathers and their children.

Through interviews, investigative journalism, and human-centered stories, Fatherand.Co shines a light on the lived experiences of men fighting to be present, loving, and equal parents. It’s a space for truth, reform, and redemption—and a call for a more compassionate and just approach to family life in America.

Because being a father should never be a fight.
