Abstract
Minors that come from broken homes due to a break-up, legal separation, divorce, or for other reasons, frequently go to Child and Adolescent Mental Health Centres. Professionals can find themselves involved in very emotionally charged, and sometimes strongly legally contested situations, where doubts may arise about what procedure they should follow from an ethical, clinical and legal point of view. This review article, based on Spanish law, tries to answer some of the doubts frequently encountered in common clinical practice, and may provide a guide to assisting the child when there is a disagreement between the parents.
