As
seen on Oprah!:
former divorce attorney Bill Ferguson's website, How to Divorce as Friends.
I recommend this one; it's very useful, even for those who are
already divorced. Check it out!
Another good site for information about divorce in general: Divorcing.com
Formerly known as the Mining Company, which many of you may
recognize-a guidesite for every topic; keeping up their usual
good work of screening sites so you don't have to; check out the About.com Divorce Support page.
This next link is dedicated to all you single
moms out
there. (Yes, to answer the critics, I know
there are single dads out there, too. Consider yourself included.
I have an equivalent "Dad.com" site just below!) This
site is a great parenting resource link, especially aimed toward
Moms. Moms, I salute you! I know how hard it is to have to work
several jobs and juggle finances to raise a family. I hope CyberMom
Dot Com
might be of some help!
Experts
tell us that one of the single most influential factors
contributing to crime in the United States is the absence of the father
from the home. (The mothers are
there, sometimes working three or more jobs to simply survive!)
Fathers are absent from American homes in increasingly large
numbers for many reasons, abandonment, drug use, and sad to say,
sometimes just plain lack of concern. Fathers need to get back
into the loop, no matter what it takes. Responsible, loving
fathers are needed for children to grow up to the best they can
be... the love, financial and emotional support of a father
cannot be underestimated! With great ideas for how to be a better
father, the ultimate on-line link for fathering comes from the National Center for Fathering.
A great resource for single mothers is www.singlerose.com
A life management resource site for those going this path alone
can be found at www.flyingsolo.com.
A link to America's most wanted child support
non-payors,
for states that post such pictures. Many IV-D agencies will not
post pictures of RDS
parents*, as the practice is viewed as too controversial and as
being politically incorrect. (NOTE: The Missouri agency does
not publish such a list.) I have heard that in some states,
legislation has been passed requiring
IV-D agencies to post such listings...

Are you familiar with
newsgroups and USENET? If you don't mind controversy and seeing
an occasional profanity or spam, you may want to check out this
newsgroup: alt.child-support
