Separation can be one of the most challenging times for children and parents alike. The changes in family living arrangements often disrupt routines, attachments and a sense of stability for children.
The booklet Share 這 Care: 育兒 Plan – Collaborative Parenting Apart is a practical, accessible guide for separating parents navigating these challenges.
It offers a roadmap to build a customised written plan for how children will be supported, cared for and connected – now and as their lives evolve.
What's Inside
Share the Care is comprehensive yet practical.
Key topics include:
- About parenting plans: Explains what a parenting plan is, what it is not, and how it differs from a legally enforceable order.
- Communication: Offers guidance on how separated parents can establish respectful communication channels (phone, text, email), agree on shared values/culture, and avoid putting children in the middle.
- Living arrangements: Helps parents think through how children will spend time with each parent, how transitions between households can be gentler, and how to handle special days/holidays.
- Finances: Highlights how often the financial issue is a source of conflict and sets out checklists and tips for managing everyday costs, child support 和 unforeseen expenses.
- Education: Covers how schooling, extracurricular activities and changing schools can be managed collaboratively — while keeping children’s best interests at heart.
- Emergency contacts / Health and wellbeing records: Supports parents to maintain a shared reference of key contacts, medical details, and wellbeing information so both homes can be equipped.
- Useful 資源: A curated list of national support services (e.g. for family violence, legal advice 和 child support) so parents know where to turn if things become difficult.
