Being denied access to one's children is a deeply challenging experience for fathers in South Africa. However, it is essential for fathers facing this situation to understand that they are not powerless and that there are steps they can take to assert their rights. When confronted with denied access to their children's lives, fathers in South Africa have legal avenues and practical strategies available to them.

If the child's mother is denying you access to your child, you can approach the office of the Family Advocates to draw up a parental plan.
