Introduction from Gillian Bishop

Welcome to The FLiPSide.

As 2017 draws to a close we welcome The Times Campaign: Family Matters which calls for family legislation to be reviewed and modernised. In this edition of The FLiPSide director Daniel Coombes examines another bold initiative, this time by Cafcass, which promotes therapy to avoid the scourge of parental alienation. And consultant Felicity Shedden explains how Parenting Coordination can help families stuck in a high conflict situation. With Christmas on the doorstep, we also feature our top tips for managing the first Christmas after a divorce or separation.

And finally, we are proud to announce the publication of our new book "Towards the Light: A Way Through Divorce and Separation" by directors James Pirrie and Elizabeth Fletcher. You can download a copy of the book from our website and hard copies are available free of charge on request.

We hope that you enjoy this latest edition of The FLiPSide and we welcome your feedback.

With best wishes,
Gillian Bishop, Founder of Family Law in Partnership

Parental Alienation and Parenting
Coordination in the Spotlight

In this article director Daniel Coombes examines the groundbreaking process being trialled by Cafcass by which divorcing parents could be denied contact with their children if they try to turn them against their former partner. So called "parental alienation" is estimated to be present in 11%-15% of divorces involving children.
