Becoming a separated parent is not something you may have anticipated. It is challenging in so many ways and can be very daunting.
The new second edition of Parenting through separation provides access to information and support that will help you throughout your parenting journey, through separation, divorce and beyond.
It will help you make decisions and find solutions, consider better ways of communicating to reduce conflict and to understand things from your child’s point of view and your ex-partner’s point of view.
We can’t promise it has all the answers you seek, but we hope it will provide you with helpful information on how to find a constructive way forward. When parents learn to work together to support their children this leads to outcomes that are better not only for children but also for parents themselves.
The guide has been written in a way that you can pick it up and read ahead as far as you need. You don’t need to read it all at once. Dip into it as and when situations arise where you need support.
There is signposting to helpful organisations and guidance on the many confusing legal terms you might come across for the first time as you embark on this journey.
Most importantly, we want you to feel supported and understand that you are not alone.
