  • 265 - Funding Fathers: A New Foundation for Divorced Dads
    2025/07/21

    We're launching the Foundation for Fathers, and it's going to transform how we support dads navigating divorce. This nonprofit will provide free and low-cost resources, support groups, workshops, and legal education to fathers facing custody challenges—especially those without access to professional services.

    What makes this announcement truly revolutionary is our partnership with Will Black, founder of Sharing The Credit. Will has pioneered a method that turns credit card processing fees into sustainable funding for charities like ours. Rather than these fees going to banks, they can be redirected to support divorced fathers without costing businesses a penny more. In fact, 98.5% of businesses actually save money while making a meaningful difference.

    For divorced fathers, this partnership means more accessible coaching, free community memberships, and scholarship opportunities when they need it most.

    If you know any business that processes credit cards—from restaurants to law firms, especially divorce attorneys—connecting them with us could help fund critical resources while potentially saving them money. Just twenty participating businesses could fund our programs for an entire year. Reach out to jude@thedivorceddadvocate.com to make a difference for fathers when they need support most.

  • 259 - Why Asking for Help Is Your Greatest Strength
    2025/06/09

    Divorce can feel like a storm that rolls in fast—no forecast, no shelter, no time to prepare. One day, you're a husband, a full-time father, a provider with a plan. The next, you’re staring at an empty home, a fractured schedule with your kids, and a mountain of legal and emotional upheaval. It doesn’t just split assets—it splits your identity.

    You may find yourself questioning your worth, your role, and your future. The routines that grounded you—picking up your kids from school, sitting at the dinner table, even just being part of a family unit—can vanish overnight. Finances take a hit. Friendships grow awkward. Even the strongest men can feel blindsided, powerless, and utterly alone.

    If you’re a dad navigating this storm, I want you to know something crucial: you’re not weak for struggling, and you don’t have to weather it alone. This month—Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month—is the perfect time to drop the armor, silence the shame, and take a real, honest look at what you’re carrying inside.

    Because you're not just fighting for yourself—you're fighting for your presence in your children's lives, for your future peace of mind, and for the version of you that’s still in there, waiting to rise.

    Let’s talk. Let’s be honest. And most importantly—let’s help each other make it through.
