Living together after your relationship ends

Some parents continue living together after their relationship has ended. To live separate lives in the same home you will need to divide the home between you or share the space another way.

Mediation may help you agree how to live together in the same home. If it doesn't help, getting legal advice may be your only option.

To find a local mediator you can contact the National Family Mediation Helpline on 0845 602 6627 or Relationships Scotland at www.relationships-scotland.org.uk
