When parents separate and live in two difference places, many things change. It can be a confusing time.
Parents usually have to make some decisions about what is going to happen.
They have to think about where everyone will live and maybe how to divide up the things they own. They also have to make decisions about you - like when you will spend time with each of them, what you will do on holidays and so on. When parents can't agree about what should happen, they ask a mediator to help them work things out. If they still can't agree, they can also ask a judge of the Family Court to make some decisions for them. Judges at the Family Court know a lot about families like yours where parents don't live together any more.
