Schools are not making enough of an effort to include non-residential parents of children with divorced parents, according to new research.

Over 20% of schoolchildren have divorced or separated parents, and studies have found that around two-thirds of non-residential parents, most often the father, do not receive any notifications, reports, or information from the schools their children attend.

Fathers interviewed for the study report feeling marginalized and unwelcome at school events. One child was told that he should only do homework at his mother’s home, so that it was more easily organized.
