Family and stigma communication research have barely scratched the surface of the dynamic and diverse arrangements of stigma in the family context. Though some research has investigated the stigma surrounding nontraditional family structures (e.g., adoptive families, same-gender parents), some populations have been neglected. Specifically, the lack of focus on nonresidential fathers is a substantial oversight in academic research. This thesis examines how nonresidential fathers communicate online about the stigma they face. It sheds light on this population's stigma management strategies through a thematic analysis of public online forums written by nonresidential fathers. This study reveals that fathers participate in facework, stigma management, and community formation when communicating online about the stigma they face. The results of this study have implications for communication studies as a field and applications for the dissolution of stigma in social and legal contexts.
