The topic of this thesis is to explore the role of fathers in the lives of early and preschool children. Nowadays, when there are more and more breakdowns of marriages in which parents cannot mutually and independently agree on custody and meeting and seeing children, the intervention of the competent Social Welfare Centers and competent Courts is very necessary. In this paper, the goal was to explore the relationship, encounters and views of children with fathers who are not the primary caregivers of their children using the interview method. The interview was conducted with ten fathers and they were asked six questions each. The results are mixed, but more fathers do not have a good relationship with the mother of their children and feel that because of this, they see their own children too little or not at all. Four of them see their children according to the decision of the Center for Social Welfare. From this interview, it is easy to conclude that society is still traditional and considers fathers less important than mothers. A child needs both a father and a mother in his life, preventing him from meeting and seeing one of the parents, sometimes leaves and emotional mark on the child.
