"Losing a parent to divorce can be just as traumatic as losing a parent to death. Children often experience extreme anxiety over ‘losing’ their other parent or feeling that they have been ‘excluded' from their daily lives.

Parents have to read between the lines and follow all the nonverbal cues children send out in order to help resolve this matter.

Sadly, feelings of loss may always be with your child, but there are tactics parents can employ to decrease these feelings over time." (Nicola Withycombe- Our Family Wizard)

"Children may experience an overwhelming sense of confusion about your separation and feel that they are somehow to blame.

They may try to figure out what ‘really’ happened and believe the separation was a result of something they said or did, especially if they witnessed a lot of arguing, criticism and blaming behaviour.

Sadly, without a parent's reassurance that the separation had absolutely nothing to do with them or their actions, your children may hold on to these feelings for a long time." (Nicola Withycombe- Our Family Wizard)

"Making the decision to separate is exceptionally difficult, particularly when you have children. Whilst both parents are experiencing the different stages of roller-coaster ‘loss-cycle’ emotions, children go through their own grief process and will often endure the heartache, confusion and chaos in silence.

Most don’t feel they are fully able to share their thoughts and feelings with their parents for fear of upsetting one or both of them. Having to suppress too many difficult emotions for too long is unhealthy and will inevitably lead to some ‘explosive’ behaviour.

This is just one of the many reasons why they can benefit from being able to talk to a specialist child counsellor or someone else they trust outside of their family circle. They need to feel ‘seen’ and ‘heard’ more than ever before." Nicola Withycombe, Our Family Wizard

Worried about the cost of mediation? The government has extended the mediation voucher scheme worth up to £500.

The Government has set up the scheme in response to Covid-19 to support recovery in the family court and to encourage more people to consider mediation as a means of resolving their disputes, where appropriate.

More info can be found at: https://www.familymediationcouncil.org.uk/mediation-vouchers/?fbclid=IwY2xjawRMYXtleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETBZbXpQOElmbkdRa1B4a3ZSc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHsx-gQVUkBcuQZZ-upFwgAn0hO2mwr6I_i8XFGTb0MPebidje49IpywT6bCe_aem_sZk1YXqUgY4Bpek2XezM8A

The Nuffield Family Justice Observatory has published a briefing paper on the use of AI in the family justice system.

The briefing paper was originally published in 2024 and has been updated to reflect recent developments. It is intended to prompt discussion about how the use of artificial intelligence could improve the experiences of families and professionals in the family justice system. It also outlines the challenges and risks involved, and the governance required for safe usage.

Key questions are:
• how well prepared are we to understand its potential or to deal with its challenges and risks in relation to the family justice system?
• could we be doing more to think about how it could improve families’ experiences?
• could families in public and private law proceedings, as well as professionals in the family justice system, benefit from the safe and fair use of newer technologies such as generative AI?

The briefing paper can be downloaded at:https://www.nuffieldfjo.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/AI-in-the-family-justice-system-2026.pdf
