My Journey as a Father and the
Community we're Building
I started this to document my journey through family court, custody battles, and the fight to stay connected with my child. What began as a personal journal has slowly taken shape into something larger—a space for reflection, clarity, and quiet strength.

Problems as per Guardian and Wards Act
Understanding the systemic legal challenges that affect fathers' rights and parental equality in India.
Disclaimer: This platform reflects lived experiences and legal interpretations intended for awareness, not legal advice. It respects the dignity of all parents and does not represent any court’s opinion.
The Unspoken Challenges: Beyond the Law
Real scenarios that fathers face daily, often invisible to the legal system but deeply impactful on family dynamics.
Access Challenge
Some fathers find themselves entirely dependent on the other parent's mood or permission — where seeing their own child is treated like a favor to be earned.
Third-Party Interference: "Do Whatever You Want"
Everyday Exclusion
Why I Started This Journey
I believe every child deserves a loving and present father. My own experience with the legal system showed me the immense, often isolating, hurdles fathers face. I started writing to make sense of it all, and soon realized I wasn't alone. This site is my answer—a place to share my story, offer the resources I've found, and build a community so no father has to walk this path by himself.
Built One Line at a Time: Every part of this platform was shaped by lived experience—and long nights figuring things out solo.
Still a Work in Progress: This space is growing in real time. If you notice something unfinished and feel a pull, maybe that's no accident.
Advocacy for Change: Working towards a fair legal system that prioritizes the child's right to both parents.
Underneath It All: My Day
This is my promise as a father — one day at a time.
There’s pain I don’t always talk about, so I started building all of this — a way to hold on to moments, to time, to what matters. This is for him — and for the father I’m choosing to be anyway.
