Equal Rights for Divorced Fathers (ERDF) is a national news and advocacy publication advocating for the rights of fathers nationwide. We cover fathers’ rights, family court reform, child custody law, child support policy, and shared parenting legislation across the United States.
Our job is to give fathers clear, accurate information about the laws and court decisions that shape their relationships with their children. We put children first. We also believe children do best when both parents stay involved.
Our Mission: Equal Parenting and Fair Family Courts
Millions of fathers face divorce, custody disputes, and child support orders every year. News coverage of their experience is often scattered or one-sided. ERDF fills that gap with reporting that is accurate, sourced, and easy to follow.
We advocate for shared parenting, fair child support, and family courts that treat both parents equally under the law. We make that case with evidence, not outrage.

How We Advocate for Fathers
We report the law accurately
Every statement of law is checked against the statute, court opinion, bill text, or agency record before we publish. Our Editorial Policy explains how.
We correct mistakes in the open
When we get something wrong, we fix it and tell readers what changed. See our Corrections Policy.
We stay independent
Advertisers, sponsors, and outside groups have no say in what we publish. No one outside our editorial team reviews articles before they go live.
