The prompt · ChatGPT
Help me plan co-parenting arrangements. Current pattern: [days/nights] Children's ages and school: [details] Flashpoints: [lateness, clothes, homework, new partners] Holidays and special days: [rough] How we communicate now: [text, app, not at all] Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers. Then: 1. A clear weekly pattern proposal. 2. Handover rules (time, place, what travels with the child). 3. A calm message template for changes. 4. Holiday and birthday principles. 5. Point me to GOV.UK child arrangements (gov.uk/looking-after-children-divorce) and child maintenance (gov.uk/child-maintenance), and Citizens Advice family pages; do not invent legal rights. If anyone is unsafe, call 999 or the National Domestic Abuse Helpline 0808 2000 247. Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, diagnoses or legal outcomes. This is help with wording and planning, not legal, medical or counselling advice; point me to GOV.UK, Citizens Advice, NSPCC (0808 800 5000), Childline (0800 1111), Samaritans (116 123) or Refuge/National Domestic Abuse Helpline (0808 2000 247) where that fits, and call 999 if anyone is in immediate danger.
