Whilst additional thought must be given to ensure that both children and parents remain safe, that should not be at the expense of quality time with each parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We urge all separated parents to read the helpful Cafcass guidance \u201cCo-parenting and child arrangements in a global pandemic \u2013 advice for families\u201d and seize upon these difficult times as a positive opportunity to improve communication with your co-parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Home-schooling parents should use this time to understand their children\u2019s educational development and safely harness the advantages of sharing quality family time together. Technology can also greatly assist children with their schooling needs, exercise classes and staying in touch with friends and family. Indeed, social media sites have seen an influx of families coming together to make videos and \u201cshorts\u201d to entertain us all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thankfully, in the last two weeks, our lawyers have also seen many cases where these unprecedented times, coupled with the right guidance, have persuaded parents to set aside their differences and really prioritise their children\u2019s needs. We can only hope parents will continue with the same spirit once we\u2019ve overcome the Coronavirus pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.riaabarkergillette.com\/uk\/our-team\/pippa-marshall\/\">Pippa Marshall<\/a> is a Resolution member. <a href=\"https:\/\/resolution.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Resolution<\/a> is a community of family justice professionals who work with families and individuals to resolve their issues in a considered and constructive way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-if-you-re-struggling-to-maintain-the-status-quo-our-family-team-can-help-and-assist-you-with-any-disputes-over-children-call-pippa-today\">If you\u2019re struggling to maintain the status quo, our family team can help and assist you with any disputes over children.
