Issues Paper 01: Separated Parenting
What separating parents need when making care arrangements for their children
This Families Commission issues paper discusses the importance of promoting and investing in cooperative parenting and looks at options for change that would provide more equity, flexibility and information for separating parents.
The paper has been developed to provide broader family perspectives on the coming review of the New Zealand child support scheme.
Families Commission research reports Reaching Out - Who New Zealanders turn to for relationship support, Putting the Kids First - Caring for children after separation, and New Zealand Child Support Arrangements, have all informed this issues paper.
