Co-parenting after and during abuse

Separating is a challenging experience when there is no abuse. Matters become far more complicated if abuse has occurred in the past, even more so if abuse remains and you have every reason to believe if abuse will continue in any form.

Some of the many, many issues to consider include:

  • How to come to terms with the past to minimize your relationship with your children.
  • How to resist the various forms of abuse that you are being subjected to and to minimize their effects of your relationship with your children.
  • Understanding what is parental alienation and how to recognise it.
  • What can you do to minimize the opportunity for actions that make up parental alienation against you.
  • How to minimize the effect of the actions or attempts of parental alienation against you.
  • How to ensure that you do not inadvertently undertake actions that may be construed as parental alienation against the other parent.
  • The role of Domestic Violence Orders to protect yourself and the children.
  • The role of Family Law Court parenting and consent orders.
  • The role of mediation.
  • Access, contact and the use of contact centres.
  • Potentially using a third party process for safe contact, such as an app.
  • Child Support payments and the Child Support Agency.

There are other issues that I have not yet listed here. Feel free to let me know through the comment bottom at the bottom and I will add them as they come to light.



Books. On the "Other resources" page I have a number of books listed that you may want to have a read off. Some are available at the Towoomba and Ipswich libraries. If you want to purchase them, click on the title to be taken to a link with Booktopia or try any or the other online book stores such as BookDepository, Angus & Robertson online and so on.
