Jenny Duggan, a senior associate in the Divorce and Family team at Stewarts, spoke as part of a webinar organised by London-based charity Toynbee Hall. Founded in 1884, the organisation has run a Free Legal Advice Centre for more than 200 years. It is the oldest still-running service of its kind in the world.
The session was published online on 29 July 2021, and covered topics that will be relevant for anyone entering into a co-parenting arrangement. “During lockdown, co-parenting has become challenging for many,” Toynbee Hall tweets.
Talking co-parenting
The topics discussed included:
- What does a successful co-parenting arrangement look like?
- What should parents consider as a sign that they may need to formalise co-parenting arrangements?
- What can they do to seek help?
- What factors should be considered when agreeing on a co-parenting plan?
- What effect can gaslighting have on co-parenting?
- What advice would you give to co-parents entering into new relationships?
- How can you manage social media sharing in a co-parenting arrangement?
