Parents
Leaflets to order and download for children in divorce
CAFCASS (Children and Family Court Advisory and Support Service) have
produced some new leaflets to help children when their parents are going
through separation/divorce.
Divorce Aid is grateful to CAFCASS for including us in the
children and older children leaflets.
Looking at the children's sheets will make it easier to see things through
their eyes. If you have teenagers or young adults, please read more
in their own section.
Please note
Divorce Aid can post a single copy of My Family's Changing, for under
and over 12's, to the general public. If you require more than one copy
of each or you are a professional in this area, please place your order
via The
Stationery Office.
You may order up to 50 copies of each Free of charge.
My Family's Changing
The 'My Family's Changing' leaflets are designed to offer help and support
to children whose parents are divorcing or separating. They include
ideas from other children who have been through similar experiences,
games, spaces for children to write down and explore their feelings
and details of organisations that can offer further help.
The leaflets are available in two age ranges:
Below 12 and over 12 as below.

'Parenting Plans' is designed to help parents and other relatives to reach agreement about contact arrangements for their children following parental separation and divorce.
'Parenting Plans' covers the issues to consider in making contact arrangements,
includes case studies showing how people have resolved issues to agree
contact arrangements, and provides a list of organisations that can
be called upon for further advice and help. As this is a substantial
document, we would recommend ordering your free copy.

Resources from Australia
If you remember that foreign resources do not include the same
legal/financial information as English law or sources of help, they
can be very useful for general tips. We list some below:
Me and my changing family - Moving forward
Tips on moving forward after separation
This is a very useful leaflet from the Australian CSA, full
of advice and thoughtful topics on all its 60 pages.
