The Fathers' Rights Association of New York State, Inc. (F.R.A.N.Y.S.) is a charitable not-for-profit all volunteer educational organization that seeks, through equal parenting rights, to ensure that children maintain a continuing, nurturing relationship with both parents after divorce or separation.

The F.R.A. of N.Y.S., Inc., is an educational and advocacy organization dedicated to strengthening the relationships between fathers and their children. Our goal is to increase public awareness and to educate the public and elected officials, lawmakers and the courts as to the importance of fair parenting laws, as well as to offer assistance to families in crisis.

We provide peer support to our members along with resource materials and referrals to service providers. The association's goals are to promote shared parenting and to assist fathers in their rights of equal access to their children. The association holds regular meetings during which literature, legal advice, and emotional counseling are provided.

Equal Parental Status:
FRANYS-CAP promotes fulfilling children's needs by offering fathers a support and educational organization concerning matters of self, family, society, government and the courts.

Helping Fathers:
Men and women helping fathers strive to achieve equitable parental status is benefiting our daughters' and sons' security, their sense of self worth, and promotes in them a healthy outlook on society.

Children's Rights:
Preserving our children's rights to maintain paternal family relations, including those with their grandparents, is our gift of priceless, timeless heritage.

A Child's Love:
A child's love for a father and a father's love for his child must have every opportunity to flourish, as naturally as possible.
