They offer pre-legal advice and information on successful cases, referrals to sympathetic expert lawyers, financial help in bulding a strong court case and personal and emotional support. Thay also publish a newsletter two or three times yearly called "Grapevine", which covers news of fights for custody in boh the U.S. and Canada and reports on support work currently being done in this area.
