  Divorce is never easy for a child. Many children are hit hard by a sense of guilt and loss when their parents divorce and their self-confidence and relationships can suffer. Helping Children Cope with Divorce offers advice about practical and emotional problems - what the legal terms mean, coping with residence orders, giving a child a chance to have a say in decisions, the possibility of step-parents and step brother and sisters. There is also information on mediation and the Family Law Act.
