Frequently Asked Questions

Where will the children live?

Separation and divorce can be an especially sad, confusing and stressful time for children and adjusting to seeing their parents in separate homes can be challenging. It is usual for children to have two homes and to move between each on such days and times as can be agreed. If you have always been your child’s primary carer, perhaps because your partner works long hours, it is likely that your child will primarily live with you and spend time with the other parent.
