Single fathers are being asked to tell a Holyrood committee about their experiences as it launches an inquiry on the subject.
The Equal Opportunities Committee wants to know about the practical, social and financial challenges facing single fathers.
There are almost 30,000 lone fathers with dependent and non-dependent children in Scotland, according to official statistics.
MSP Margaret McCulloch said: “We are keen to hear from the hundreds of other single dads across Scotland on the unique practical, social and personal challenges they also face.”
The committee is accepting evidence until February 21, with the inquiry due to take place in spring.
