Relationship problems

If you share a home with a partner and the relationship breaks down you may have to face practical and legal issues about where you are going to live. It is best to get in touch at an early stage with advice, support and counselling services that can help with relationship problems.

In terms of agreeing arrangements you may find it useful to get help from a mediation service rather than dealing directly with the situation yourself.
