What About The Law Relating To Children?

If you are separating and have children, at the same time as navigating the emotional and financial repercussions of divorce you’ll also have to make some big decisions about the care of your children. Issues you won’t have had to contemplate before, and which you may well not agree on straight away.

We created this course because the first question many separating parents have is: what does the law say? And actually, knowing what the legal principles are, and how they’ve been applied in cases, can really help parents navigate this transition.

So if you are a parent going through divorce at the moment, or are supporting someone who is, this course is for you. We’ve broken it down into segments to give a full overview of the law, explain how judges make decisions relating to children, detail the different court orders a judge can make, and we’ve set out examples of real life case law so you can see the types of decisions, and reasoning, which has been applied to other families.

Often the best way to avoid court proceedings is to have an understanding of what a judge would do, which you can then use to reach an agreement which works for you both.

This course remains live for 90 days from purchase, but we’ve included course materials with the full text of the course and links to all the case law, research and statutes, which you can download and keep after the course itself has expired.
