Supporting parents to separate better

The interplay of separation proceedings and potential changes to immigration status is an area fraught with complexity

Parenting Plans help clarify important details of life post-separation – but can also help the parents establish their new relationship

This booklet, available to purchase in print or download as a PDF, is designed to be a useful resource giving tips, support, information, signposting and help to parents embarking on or already separated

In my mediation practice, from the very first meeting, I encourage separated parents to put the children’s needs first. We use a range of resources including, of course, the Resolution “Parenting through separation” guide. In particular I encourage them to consider attending a Separating Parents Information Programme (SPIP).

While your relationship with your partner has ended, your role as a parent has not. As you move on with life after your divorce, you and your ex will need to manage your relationship as separated parents.

Negotiating your own agreement, with or without professional support, at first glance can seem the easiest. However, it can be a complex process with many aspects you and your partner will need to consider, and so it is not suitable for everyone.
