1. Document Everything: Keep meticulous records of all interactions, including emails, text messages, and conversations. This evidence can be crucial in court to demonstrate your involvement and commitment.
   
2. Stay Composed: Maintaining your composure is essential. Emotional reactions can be used against you, so staying calm and collected is vital.
   
3. Get Professional Support: Hire an expert  who specialises in fathers’ rights. They can provide guidance, help you understand your rights, and build a strong case on your behalf.
   
4. Prioritise Children’s Well-being: Always focus on what’s best for your children. Courts tend to favour parents who prioritise their children’s welfare and demonstrate genuine concern for their well-being.
   
5. Avoid Negative Remarks: Do not speak negatively about your ex-partner in front of your children. This behaviour can be detrimental to your case and harmful to your children’s emotional health.
