Our Wigan family lawyers have put an immense effort in compiling resources for any single parents struggling post-divorce. A range of government and private providers offer essential aid in multiple areas such as housing, job training, budgeting, parenting workshops and others. These are valuable assets to families that need to adjust to the new post-divorce lifestyle. Crucial services like psychiatric counselling and legal advice can be used by families for free as part of these resources. This way every family member can gain access to necessary help needed during this transition period.
