We do this by helping fathers sharpen their inherit parenting skills, raise their self awareness, and empower men to stand tall as the foundation of the family unit. You can support us when shopping Smile Amazon at no extra cost? Next time you place an Amazon order start your shopping at smile.amazon.com, then search and confirm "Compassion Outreach of America" as your charity of choice.

We Got Work To Do 💪🏽

Dads Need a Village to get through what some call the "The Best Hood" (Fatherhood).

We don’t get blueprints or manuals on how to navigate this experience. Especially when you add in the challenges of Life, Work, Relationships, and Money plus.

Join us in the work of Changing The Narrative of Engaged Fathers.

Starting TODAY (8/1/26), two changes take effect for every custody case in the state:

⚖️ HB 1239/Act 605 — Equal shared custody is now the default (“shall,” not “should”)

⚖️ SB 76/Act 93 — The Bergeron standard is now written into law, making existing custody orders harder to modify

For Dads: treat your FIRST hearing as the one that counts. Get Informed of the law. Know your case. Strategize your court appearance.

If you are already have a custody case in court, contact your lawyer ASAP to understand what these changed mean for you.
