One of the first tips a newly single dad needs to understand is that their relationship with your child's mom has ended. However, the child you had together is counting on you to be a vital part of their life. From diapers to walking down the aisle when they get married, they want a father figure as a part of their life.
The first few years are daunting. New fathers are scared because of the legal and societal pressures that will be placed on them. In some cases, child support will be used as leverage to sign off on your parental rights. DO NOT allow this to be a part of the discussion within your mind. Seek out father groups and support from family members whenever possible. Help is available if you can connect to the resources that are available in your community.
