A "Highway Code" for separating/dealing with difficulty

To avoid the situation impacting adversely on children, the most important things to remember are:

• That your children have the right to have a relationship with both parents

• That you should try not to fight/argue in front of the children or ask them to choose sides

• That your children may have different feelings to yours and you should try to accept that

• That it is better to think about what you can do, not what your ex-partner should/shouldn't do

• That you should focus on what has worked, not on what hasn't worked

REMEMBER: Small steps can lead to big changes
