Communication​

Communication with an ex-partner is not always easy. It may not even be particularly pleasant. However, for the benefit of your children the one thing communication should always be is effective. When communication is difficult you can discuss this with your family mediator.

Some common questions include:

• How can we minimise conflict and co-operate?
• How can we put our children’s needs first?
• How can we deal with the involvement of my new partner?
• How can we parent consistently?
• How can we be flexible within a clear structure?
• Are we respecting our children’s friendships and activities?
