Nigel Shepherd from the organisation Resolution talks exclusively to Dads Space offering advice to in the event of a marriage breakdown.
While a marriage breakdown is difficult for both parents and children, it is the responsibility of the parents to protect the children as far as possible from those difficulties.
In the eyes of the law the children are entitled to the love, care and protection of both parents. So, however you as a parent might be feeling about a marriage breakdown it's important to remember that arrangements should be focused on what's best for the children and not what's best for the parents.
Resolution is an organistation of family lawyers who are committed to the constructive resolution of familiy disputes. Members of resolution encourage solutions that consider the needs of the whole family - the best interests of the children are always put first. For more advice visit the Resolution website.
