Separation reshapes your finances and your children's daily life at the same time, and the two are harder to separate than they look. This book walks you through the practical money decisions—child maintenance, the family home, school costs, activities, holidays, handovers, and the years that follow—without ever losing sight of what children actually need from both parents. You'll learn how to calculate a fair child support arrangement, put it in writing, cope whenever income drops, and handle the conversations about money with your children and with their other parent. Throughout, Rosamund Quennell Crowhurst keeps the focus on your child's security and peace of mind, helping you find workable arrangements that can bend as your children grow and your circumstances change. It includes practical checklists, scripts for difficult conversations, and questions to ask a solicitor or mediator before you sign anything. Whether you are just separating, already negotiating, or living with a fragile agreement that needs rethinking, this is your clear, level-headed companion. Part of The Separation Library.
