Information & Advice

This section is to help families find their way around the system and access the services provided to deal with relationship breakdown and its consequences.

It was written for those wanting to use the system, and also includes information for children and young people.

There are many books and leaflets available. You may find these in your local library, advice service or community centre or be able to download them from our website. Many organisations run telephone helplines providing confidential advice. If you are seeking legal advice, ask whether the adviser is legally qualified.

When relationships begin to break down, and before taking decisions about your future, it is important for you to know your rights and the choices you have. The links below contain further information and advice that may help you.
