Dads Moving Forward

Dads Moving Forward

About this app

Dads Moving Forward is a free toolkit for fathers fighting to stay in their children's lives, built by a father who has lived this fight.

RECORD EVERYTHING
• Custody Journal: log pickups, missed visits, calls, texts and payments in seconds
• See your last 30 days at a glance and print a clean record for your lawyer or court
• Your journal stays private on your phone. We never see it.

STAY IN THEIR LIVES
• Reach-out reminders on the days you choose, so you never miss a chance to call, text or write
• Daily check-in to keep track of every time you reached out
• Letter to my child: write messages for the day your child is ready to read them

FUN PLACES NEAR ME
• Find parks, playgrounds and fun spots near you, with directions, for your time together

THE HANGOUT
• A live chat for fathers: share wins, ask for advice, lift each other up
• A new conversation question every day
• Real talk is welcome. Racism, hate and bullying are not. Report and block are built in.

STAY INFORMED
• A daily newsreel on custody, child support and know-your-rights
• Get an email the moment DMF goes live on TikTok

Join more than 150,000 fathers and supporters in the Dads Moving Forward community.

Dads Moving Forward offers support from other fathers, not legal advice. If you're struggling, call or text 988, any time.
