Child Legal

WHERE DO I STAND?
A child’s legal guide
to separation
and divorce.

This is a pamphlet for children whose parents separate or divorce. Separation or divorce is the result of problems between parents. It is not the children’s fault. The children can’t stop it from happening. But it does affect children a lot. You may have questions about the law of separation and divorce. This pamphlet’s goal is to try and answer those questions.
This pamphlet is about law, and does not talk about your feelings about separation and divorce. There is a list at the back which suggests some of the books you might want to read about how most children feel when their parents separate or divorce.
There is a dictionary at the back for words you might not understand.
