Support for changing families
Divorce and separation can be overwhelming—but co-parenting doesn’t have to be. Together Apart helps parents navigate change, reduce conflict, and build a cooperative co-parenting relationship. Because while relationships may end, family is forever.
​
Our goal?
To help you create the best possible future for your children—without unnecessary conflict or stress.

Is Your Co-Parenting Relationship on the Right Track?
​Co-parenting after separation can be challenging—communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, and differing parenting styles can make it even harder. But how do you know if your current approach is working or if extra support could help?

-
Your current level of communication
-
The biggest challenges you’re facing
-
How conflict is affecting your co-parenting dynamic
At the end of the quiz, you'll be invited to a free 15-minute personal consultation to discuss your results and get some immediate next steps you can take to improve your co-parenting.

How we help
Family Dispute Resolution
Resolve disputes over your children’s care through structured mediation and facilitated conversations—helping you reach agreements that work for everyone.
Why Together Apart?
A Clear Path Through the Chaos
Navigating separation means dealing with lawyers, mediators, courts, and well-meaning but overwhelming advice. We help you cut through the noise and focus on what matters most—building a peaceful, workable co-parenting relationship.
Stronger Parents, Stronger Kids
Separation is hard on everyone, especially children. We help you manage conflict and co-parent with confidence—so your kids feel safe, secure, and supported.
No One-Size-Fits-All Solutions
Every family is different, and so is every co-parenting arrangement. We work with you to create a plan that fits your unique situation—while adapting as your family grows and changes.
Mums and dads experience separation differently
There are many factors that determine people's experience of a breakup - the views of friends and extended family, social norms, cultural context, personal history and experience to name a few. Mothers and fathers respond to a relationship breakup in different ways - and they experience different responses from their environment.
That's why, at Together Apart, we ensure that both parents are supported in the way that works for them, with a mix of tools and strategies.
This too shall pass
No matter how hard it all seems right now - there is something on the other side. Many families have used mediation to come to positive arrangements that meet the needs of both parents and children - and they are moving on with their lives together apart.
