The post-separation parenting blueprint with Danielle Black mobile-friendly

The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™

Finally, a post-separation parenting resource that gets it right - child development and wellbeing put first - with the evidence to back it up.

“Do I need the Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint?”

Yes, if you want to…

Stop second-guessing yourself.

Start making decisions based on what your children actually need.

Become the advocate your children deserve.

The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint is designed to meet you wherever you are:

Whether you're contemplating separation or already living it...

  • You're scared to make the wrong decisions about your children's future. You’re thinking about what might be “fair” after separation, or what the other parent might demand, but you’re confused about what's actually best for your kids and don’t want to make a mistake that might negatively impact your children long-term.

  • You're not sure what’s best for your kids, or you’ve been told that “50/50” is what’s ultimately ‘best’ and ‘fair’. You might be confused about whether the other parent has particular legal “rights” to a certain amount of parenting time, and not sure about how much of that should be overnight time, if any.

    You might be experiencing pressure to agree to arrangements that you just know aren’t right for your kids - but you’re not sure how to advocate for them in a way that’s credible.

  • You've likely been made to feel like you're being “difficult” or “controlling” when you advocate for what you know your children actually need. You want reassurance that you’re on the right track, and to be able to communicate with others using child-centred and evidence-based facts that can’t be easily swept aside.

Here's the truth the others won't tell you:

Most post-separation parenting advice from other professionals ignores child development research and evidence entirely.

Shocked? Angry? You should be!

The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ gives you the information that other professionals don’t.

What You Get

The things that other professionals don’t tell you, including:

Safety First

Learn to identify and respond to real safety concerns, not just “conflict”

Special Circumstances

Comprehensive coverage of family violence, substance abuse, mental health, adult children, relocation issues, expat parents, children with additional needs and more

Child Development Foundations

Understand what your children actually need at each developmental stage (spoiler: it's not equal time)

The Communication Myth

Why “just communicate better” doesn't work and what actually does - including a co-parenting communication resource with customisable message responses and prompts.

Age-Appropriate Arrangements

Detailed guidance for every age group from infants to teenagers

Practical Implementation

How to create post-separation parenting arrangements that actually work for your children's lives, based on research and evidence, AND detailed examples that give you an understanding of what is commonly featured in parenting orders.

Plus advanced modules on:

• Disinterested and disengaged parents

• Children who are resisting or refusing

• Re-partnering and new relationships (including when the new partner was also the affair partner prior to separation)

• The truth about the ideology of equal shared ‘50-50’ parenting time arrangements, and how to credibly resist them if your co-parent is demanding equal time

• How to defend yourself against accusations of “alienation” (and debunking the concept of ‘parental alienation syndrome’ entirely)

• What the gold-standard, peer reviewed research really tells us about young children and overnight parenting time with non-primary parents (PLUS how to factually determine who the ‘primary parent’ is)

• Legal realities in Australia, including when the court system may be needed

The only post-separation resource built on the proven

3 Steps to Protective Parenting™ framework

What makes this content truly one-of-a-kind:

• Evidence-based, not opinion-based:

Recommendations are backed by child development and post-separation parenting research, not family law myths, or outdated ideologies and biases

Developmentally specific:

Detailed guidance for each age group, not generic “one size fits all” advice

• Safety-focused:

Prioritises children's physical and emotional safety over adult demands and ideological concepts of “fairness”

• Real-world tested:

Strategies that have been used successfully to optimise outcomes by other protective parents in the Australian family law system

• Australian-specific:

Tailored to Australian family law and cultural context, yet the majority of modules are very applicable to parents around the world

• Comprehensive coverage:

Addresses the varied and complex post-separation parenting situations that other resources ignore 

Parenting-plan ready:

Features actual examples of parenting plans and parenting orders (Australian specific) that you can customise to suit your family and individual circumstances

• Knowledge + Capacity + Advocacy:

The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint™ is the only post-separation resource that covers the 3 things needed for protective parenting.

The Transformation: From Confused to Confident

Before The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint:

If you're contemplating separation:

  • Paralysed by fear of making the wrong decision for your children

  • Scared that “50-50” is the default parenting arrangement after separation

  • Worried that you don’t have the knowledge or the capacity to advocate for your children

  • Considering staying in the relationship until your kids are old enough to perhaps tolerate equal or significant time with the other parent

If you've already separated:

  • Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice from professionals or others

  • Dealing with parenting time demands from your children’s other parent that you just know are not right for your kids

  • Believing that you and the other parent must come to agreement on post-separation parenting arrangements

  • Doubting your parental instincts

  • Fearing lawyer involvement, the court system and unknown outcomes

  • Struggling with guilt, uncertainty, and overwhelm

  • Managing post-separation abuse, and fearing any and all conflict with your former partner

  • Wanting “evidence” about post-separation parenting arrangements to reassure yourself, and to show the other parent

  • Managing mental health, physical health or substance abuse concerns - and wanting to know what you can do to put your kids wellbeing and safety first (and, how these factors might be viewed if you end up in the court system)

  • Wanting to ‘hit the ground running’ before connecting with a lawyer, so that you can give instructions confidently and step fully into ‘protective parent mode’

  • Navigating the court system, and wanting to know how you can help educate your legal team, or create a strategy to challenge inappropriate recommendations in a family report

After The Post-Separation Parenting Blueprint:

The complete 3 Steps to Protective Parenting™ system

You'll master the knowledge, build the capacity, AND develop the advocacy skills:

  • Crystal clear confidence about what your individual children actually need at every age and stage

  • Evidence-based arguments and talking points that professionals can't easily dismiss

  • Emotion regulation to stay strategic even under intense pressure

  • Boundary skills that protect your energy for what truly matters

  • Professional navigation skills that command respect rather than dismissal

  • Legal insights that empower rather than intimidate

  • The tools to set up arrangements properly from the beginning or challenge inappropriate ones

  • The internal strength to persist in advocacy even when facing resistance

We get real results for real parents
