The Herald wants your story.

Hi James

It was good to talk to you just now and thank you for your help with this.

I am looking to speak to people who have a son or daughter who has separated from their partner and can talk about what it was like supporting their child through the process of divorce, in particular how easily they were able to get information (about things like child support and access rights) to give to their divorcing child.

Our story is about how people who are divorcing tend to turn for advice to their own parents first. Couples with children whose relationships are breaking up are as likely to discuss separation issues with their parents as they are with professional advisers, including solicitors. Child Maintenance Options – the free and impartial information and support service for separating people - have conducted a survey on this.

I'm keen to talk to someone who has experience of supporting their child in this way. I can be contacted on 07764 250 260.

Many thanks

Rebecca
