Co-operative Parenting
The way in which parents adapt to living apart and managing communication will impact their child(ren)’s experience of the family separation. Many parents find this challenging, especially in the immediate aftermath of separation. We promote child welfare by offering two forms of support specifically aimed at parents within the fixed fee process.
First, parents are invited to attend separate 90-minute confidential meetings with an accredited therapist. These optional ‘Wellbeing’ meetings give both parents the chance to talk with an expert about how they are coping and how they are managing communication with the other parent.
Secondly, we invite each parent to attend an optional online workshop for separating parents. Attendance of this type of workshop is mandatory in many other jurisdictions when parents separate, but not yet here in the UK. Many parents have spoken of how helpful it is to understand the specific needs of children from parents who live apart.
All members of The Wells Group and our partners are committed to ensuring the best outcomes for children when parents separate.
