Use this guide if you and your child's other parent have separated and can talk safely about arrangements. If there are concerns about abuse or safety, do not use this guide on its own – call 999 in an emergency or contact a specialist support service.
Step by step
Put the children's needs first
List what your children need for stability, such as school routine, time with each parent, friends and activities. Consider their ages and, where appropriate, ask for their views without making them choose.
