Divorce and the SEN child: Why Child Arrangements need to be child focussed

Jan 23, 2024

In this eye-opening episode of our "Divorce and the SEN Child" series, LGFL Managing Director Rita Gupta and family law barrister Andrew Grime dive deep into the crucial topic of child arrangements for children with special educational needs (SEN).

They discuss the profound impact that changes in living arrangements after divorce or separation can have on a SEN child, and why the traditional "alternate weekends" approach often falls short.

Covering:

• The emotional and developmental needs of SEN children in the context of family separation.
• Why a "one-size-fits-all" approach doesn't work for SEN kids
• The limitations of the traditional "alternate weekend" schedule  
• Practical tips and strategies for creating child-focused arrangements  
• Insights from legal experts on navigating the complexities of child arrangements for SEN children

Remember, it's important to seek legal advice specific to your situation. This podcast offers general information and guidance, but a qualified professional can tailor solutions to your family's unique needs.
