Preparing children for the end of your relationship :Cross Stitch – Parents

If you’re splitting up, you will want to ensure that you protect your children from being upset and disturbed by the changes that will happen. Find out how best to approach the subject with them and get an overview of the arrangements you need to make with your ex-partner.

Going to court to finalise arrangements over children can be very stressful for everyone – including the children.

The court will always put the needs of the child or children first. But bear in mind that if you can’t agree at court a judge will have the final say – not you or your ex-partner.

So you should try and resolve things without going to court if it’s at all possible.
