Allard Bailey Family Law joins with thousands of family professionals to launch Resolutions’ Parenting Through Separation Guide during Good Divorce Week.
The free guide is available to any parent seeking help during their separation. It contains advice about how to co-parent with a former partner, background on the common disputes that arise between separating parents, and how to talk to children about the painful topic of divorce or separation, plus much more.
| Sabrina Bailey, Managing Partner of Allard Bailey Family Law, said: “The pandemic has put huge pressure on families and even more so on those who are separating. Naturally, most parents want to put their children’s interests front and centre, but it can be hard to know how to do this when you are faced with a really difficult situation that you haven’t been in before. Relationship breakdown is one of the most stressful experiences in life, so it’s important for parents to have access to good, authoritative and professional advice that helps them to support their children in the best possible way. We hope all separating parents will use the Parenting Through Separation Guide, to help them find a better way forward for them, and for their children. We will also be sharing a series of free blogs with practical tips and advice for parents throughout the week.” Juliet Harvey, national chair of Resolution, said: “I’m really pleased to have Allard Bailey’s support during Good Divorce Week. Resolution members do really important work in their community to help families separate in a constructive and amicable way. The more families who know about and use the free Parenting Through Separation Guide, the better equipped they will be to navigate the challenges divorce and separation brings, particularly when it comes to putting children first.” Here’s an extract of advice contained within the guide: Top tips for discussing divorce with your children 1. If your situation allows, try to have a joint conversation when all of your children are present. Keep this age appropriate. 2. Plan a series of conversations, including different follow up conversations, if your children are different ages. Be mindful that their reactions will depend on their age, developmental stage and their individual personality. 3. Reassure your children that it is okay to feel sad or scared and showing emotion is good. They can always talk to either of you and ask questions. 4. Remember you are a role model and your children are watching how you manage this situation. If they see that you are still their parents, making decisions together about them, then they will cope better. Follow the link to access the full Parenting Through Separation Guide. |
