Fathers and housing after separation

Finding a home where children can stay.

After separation, many fathers move into small or temporary places. That can make it hard to have children stay.

What to do

  • Tell housing services that you share care of children, with evidence
  • Ask how they assess needs for children who stay part of the week
  • Explore family members' homes for overnight stays while you look

Making it work for children

  • A space for them, even if small
  • Familiar things: a blanket, toys, photos
  • Routines that match home where possible

Get advice

Legal and housing advice early helps. Do not agree to give up your home without advice.

    Men can be victims.

    Sexual and intimate partner violence against men is common, underreported, and too often met with disbelief.
