Welcome to Divorce Pizza


* 26 % of children of separated parents in Australia see one parent less than once per year. This statistic is likely similar to many western countries with modern No Fault Divorce laws.

DON'T LET YOUR CHILDREN BECOME STATISTICS - think how you can share your children with the other parent to maximise the benefit for your children.

 

VALUE OF HAVING BOTH PARENTS IN A CHILD'S LIFE


  • Receive double the love
  • Makes contact with other relatives easy
  • Help with homework
  • Help with sports
  • Help with music, drama etc
  • Help on holidays
  • More help when sick
  • More presents
  • Needed for psychological development
  • Research shows children achieve better in life.

No one parent is better than your other parent, each have good and not so good characteristics.


IT IS NOT CHILDREN'S FAULT


If parents are having marital difficulties,

children need to understand that:

  • Children are not the cause of their parents marital difficulties.

  • Our society puts a lot of pressure on families.

  • If parents do decide to separate the system puts pressure on them to behave badly.

Children 0-17 with the parent that they do not live with.
