About this service

Separation and divorce are difficult processes to go through for any adult, so imagine how difficult it is for a child. It can be stressful, upsetting, confusing and hard to deal with in general. The effects of divorce on children can be seen in different ways, depending on the child in question. Some common behaviours are: acting extra good in an attempt to get parents back together, acting out or showing aggression in an attempt to get attention, and becoming depressed or withdrawn because they feel responsible. Children, no matter what age, may not understand entirely what is happening or why its happening, which is why it is so important to protect your child as much as possible during a divorce.
