Parental Alienation and Parenting 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. In the US and Canada, "parenting coordinators" are ordered and supervised by courts to help restore relationships between parents and
children identified as alienated. In this article Family Law in Partnership consultant Felicity Shedden examines how parenting coordination can support families stuck in a high conflict situation. Top Tips for the first Christmas after Divorce or Separation
The first Christmas after a divorce or separation can be a difficult time for everyone concerned, particularly your children. Here is our Christmas list with tips to help you ensure that the holiday period is as harmonious as possible. Towards the Light: A Way Through Divorce and Separation by James Pirrie and Elizabeth Fletcher We are delighted to announce the publication of "Towards the Light: A Way Through Divorce and Separation". Written by directors James Pirrie and Elizabeth Fletcher of Family Law in Partnership this book seeks to answer the question posed by clients: "What, when I have reached the end of the process, are likely to be the key things I wish I'd known at the beginning?" Thought Leadership Talks
In September we hosted a thought leadership talk which examined "How Do Our Decisions Affect Others?" Our speakers were Maggie Semple OBE and Avi Shmueli, CPsychol, DCLIN who discussed the impact of decisions in both our personal and professional lives. Our next thought leadership talk will take place on 30th January 2018 and will look at how to help adult children through divorce. Much has been written about this and we will welcome Christina McGhee, an internationally recognised divorce coach, speaker and author to give her view of the latest thinking.
