At 4-years-old, Javaontay Morris and his siblings like having their dad around. Thanks to an initiative from the DC Superior Court, he gets to do more of just that.

As Father's Day approaches, some DC dads are getting the chance to do something that for many is very ordinary, but for them, was at one point out of reach.

For Darnell Morris, an ex-prison inmate who has two small sons and a teenage daughter, the program that helps fathers find jobs and pay their child support has been a boon for his relationship with his kids.
