Arrangements for
Children
David and Victoria have separated after fourteen years
of marriage. They have two children, son Brook (aged
14) and daughter Harp (aged 4). David has come to
you for advice about arrangements for the children. He
says that since they split last year, the children have
both been living in the family home with Victoria, but
he wants them to come to live with him in his two
bedroom apartment. Brook wants to come to live with
him, David says, because they both like football. David
says that Victoria claims that Brook is only saying this
because David has been putting pressure on him.
Advise David.
