Tips for making parenting arrangements

IN BRIEF

Separating parents know that they need to make arrangements for their children as to where and when they will live with each parent. This was formally known as custody and access. We now talk about where the children will live and who they will spend time with.

I find that parents are fearful of losing the relationship with their children that they enjoyed prior to their separation. However, if parents seek the appropriate help and make proper arrangements together, the children will feel more secure in knowing where and when they are meant to be with each parent. The sooner the parents are able to make these arrangements the more beneficial it is to the children in providing for their security.
