If your parents are splitting up here are some leaflets to help you understand what is happening and the changes in your family. We hope you'll find them helpful.
If you're aged between 5 and 8 have a look at - Me
and My Family 
You can print off the leaflets which are brightly coloured with spaces for you to say what you feel either through drawing or writing.
If you're 8 -13 try - My
Family's Changing 
If you're older try this leaflet - My
Family's Splitting Up 
These leaflets also contain helpful factual information about the courts and divorce proceedings.
To make it easier for your children to cope with your divorce or separation, the leaflet Parents and Children offers information and guidance for you on how to discuss what's happening with them, and help them to adjust to the changes that are taking place.
The Parenting Plan
contains information, guidance and ideas on issues that parents will need
to consider, and includes sections which parents can complete themselves,
if they wish, to record decisions made. It also contains details of organisations
which can provide assistance to divorcing or separating parents and their
children.
Paper copies of the leaflets are available from county courts and magistrates courts dealing with family matters, solicitors' offices, mediation services, CAFCASS offices, and many voluntary organisations working directly with children.
