Bob Greig and Rebecca Giraud are founders of Only Mums & Dads, a national not for profit support and signposting service for parents going through separation and divorce.  Bob and Rebecca decided to collate several of the queries they received to bring them together as a list of commonly dealt with questions and concerns.  They approached lawyers, experts and professionals to answer the questions in plain straightforward language and created 101 questions answered about separating with children.
