It’s that time of year when families come together, and grandparents and aunts and uncles get to see more of their grandchildren and nieces and nephews. But what happens when parents have separated?
RESOLUTION, the Family Law association, has long campaigned for the need to remove blame from the divorce process. They state that the current fault-based system leads to conflict and confrontation, which is particularly harmful for children.
CHRISTMAS is a time of year where all the family try to spend time together. With all the arrangements and preparations it can be stressful for any family and can lead to conflict and disagreement.
AS HAS been reported in the media, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has announced that the Government plans to change the law to allow members of the opposite sex to enter into civil partnerships.
When parents separate, arrangements for their children, can be hard to agree. It can be particularly hard where a child starts refusing to see their other parent.
