  • I am a 68-year-old father of five, ranging in age from 3 to 49 years old. I am a retired State of Michigan employee 11 years into retirement. I worked corrections, child support and the welfare office. All departments that separate families, I have volunteered with manhood and fatherhood organizations while retired. Seeking information and resources for father’s and families to assist with both parents sharing with the responsibility for their children. - Gregory P.
