Parenting-plan development or review
When arrangements need to be shaped or reconsidered in the child's best interests.
Divorce and Parenting Support
Helping families move from separation decisions into steadier daily life.
Ligpunt supports children, parents and professional role players when divorce, parenting plans, mediation outcomes or co-parenting arrangements need careful child-centred implementation.
01
Understand the child's lived experience.
02
Support parents with practical next steps.
03
Build stability and reduce conflict where possible.
A parenting plan still has to work in the reality of family life.
Divorce and separation affect children in ways adults may not immediately see. Even when agreements are carefully written, families may still need support with emotions, transitions, communication patterns and the practical implementation of arrangements.
Ligpunt helps keep the child's experience central while supporting adults to make steadier decisions, reduce unnecessary conflict and build more sustainable parenting outcomes.
When divorce and parenting support may be helpful.
Professional support helps bridge the gap between legal arrangements and the emotional adjustment of the family.
Mediation and decision-making
When professional insight can support clearer, more child-centred decisions.
Implementation challenges
When a plan exists, but daily routines, transitions or communication remain strained.
High- or low-conflict family matters
When conflict, avoidance or uncertainty affects the child's adjustment and family stability.
The child's experience is unclear
When adults need help understanding how the child is experiencing change, loss or tension.
The child does not have to choose. The child's experience needs to be understood.
The work is not about placing adult decisions on the child. It is about understanding the child's emotional needs, adjustment and lived experience so that adults can make more responsible, informed decisions.
Voice
Listening carefully to the child's experience without asking the child to decide.
Context
Understanding behaviour, emotions and family dynamics together.
Support
Helping parents respond to the child's needs during transition and change.
From written plan to workable family practice.
The process is shaped around the family context, the child's needs and the practical next steps needed to support stability.
Clarify the concern
Identify what has become difficult: communication, transitions, contact, routines or adjustment.
Understand the child
Explore the child's emotional needs, behaviour and adjustment within the family context.
Support the adults
Help parents or role players respond more consistently and reduce avoidable conflict.
Strengthen implementation
Translate recommendations or parenting arrangements into practical, sustainable next steps.
Stability grows when adults can hold the child in mind through conflict and change.
Divorce and parenting support may include parent guidance, family guidance, support after mediation, or connected therapeutic services when a child is struggling with the transition.
Communication
Reducing unnecessary tension and helping adults focus on workable next steps.
Transitions
Supporting children through handovers, routine changes and household differences.
Consistency
Creating steadier responses so the child does not carry adult uncertainty.
Support for the people carrying the decisions around the child.
For practical guidance when separation, routines, co-parenting or adjustment become difficult.
For child-centred support around parenting plans, mediation processes and implementation challenges.
For insight when family change begins to show in behaviour, learning or emotional wellbeing.
Divorce and parenting support can connect with other Ligpunt pathways.
