The Fathers Truth

by Alan Donovan

My name is Alan Donovan. In 2015 I found myself in a custody fight to be a part of my sons life. After hiring a lawyer and getting screwed over, I decided enough was enough and I was going to represent myself! After getting full custody of my son I decided I was going to give back and help other fathers who were in the position I had once been in. I now focus on giving fathers who are being alienated a platform to get their stories heard. On the fathers truth you will hear interviews I've done and continue to do with fathers all around the world.
