When a relationship breaks down, sorting out arrangements for the children can feel overwhelming. But it doesn't have to end up in court.

They cover:

  • Who has parental responsibility and what that actually means
  • Why emotions can complicate arrangements and what to do about it
  • How mediation works and why it can help
  • Whether child arrangements can change as children grow up
  • Court orders: when you need one and when you don't
