Child Maintenance Options has been working closely with a variety of parent support organisations including Family Lives, who have supplied the following pages providing examples of a variety of tools and services which they have to offer.
Who are Family Lives?
For over 3 decades Family Lives, previously known as Parentline Plus, has worked with parents to help them deal with the changes that are a constant part of family life. We support families in four key areas: Health and wellbeing, education, relationships and also rights and responsibilities. We believe that happy children come from happy families and we currently support over 700,000 families every year to help improve the outcome for over 1 million children.
So, if you are currently separated or are in the process of separating and don’t know where to turn to for help, then maybe we can help. We can offer guidance on a wide range of issues including:
-
Family Relationships.
In the section, we can help on divorce & separation as well as on relationship support - Family Roles
It isn’t easy being a parent. Instructions aren’t included so we can provide some key guidance points for mums and dads, single parents or even grandparents - Running a Household
Parents have so many issues to deal with on a day-to-day basis that it is difficult to know where to start. We might be able to help with the following tips for finances, going back to work, chores and how to balance the work life balance as well as holidays - Family Health
Family members all suffer from illnesses and stress at one time or another. We have advice on a range of issues including emotional health problems, behaviour problems and pregnancy and birth concerns.
