Practical Support For parents Facing Separation

The end of a relationship can be a time of huge change, especially if you have children. Making plans and decisions are challenges  most people face when separating. Allowing yourself some time and space to make calm, considered decisions can make things a little more manageable.

There are some things you might need to prioritise:

• Checking benefit entitlements
• Making arrangements for child maintenance and childcare
• Finding emotional support for you and your children
• Informing others about your separation

Gingerbread - the charity for single parents - provides information and resources for parents facing separation, whilst Relate provides emotional support through a national network of professional counsellors. They have branches in Halifax and Huddersfield.

When it's time to face the legal side of separation and divorce, you'll need an experienced local family law specialist who understands what you're experiencing, provides practical legal advice and knows how to listen. Our team of experts do exactly that. Find out more and meet the team.
