A book filled with useful tips to help separated and divorced parents effectively raise happy and successful kids. It’s a resource that should be required reading for newly separating couples because it effectively addresses so many important issues often faced during this new phase of parenting. Each chapter can function as a stand-alone topic so you can focus on specific issues or choose to read it all the way through. This feature makes the book so much more of a resource because of the varied experiences that divorcing persons have. A guide to help parents effectively love and raise their kids.

“Clear and practical, reassuring and positive – will help parting parents cope best for their children.”

One of the most comprehensive and empowering guidebooks I have read to date. This book seamlessly glides through every possible topic imaginable from change, loss and legalities, to do’s and don’ts and common problems. McGhee divides the book into four sections each carrying the answers to all of the questions a parent will consider through this guilt-ridden period of change. This book is more than a guide, it is a MUST READ for all parents contemplating separation and divorce. For those already divorced it will help you to continue to sail the ‘sometimes’ stormy seas of separation.

I thoroughly recommend this book as both a parent and family lawyer. At the outset Christina McGhee acknowledges that it’s not easy parenting apart. She shows real insight while offering really sensible suggestions without being patronising. Parenting Apart also gives practical examples that any parent can relate to and compares the effect different approaches will have on children depending on their age. A lot to take in, PARENTING APART is a book to keep on the shelf and be dipped into as your children get older or circumstances change.
