Difficulties in a family with children

Families can encounter many troubles and difficulties in the course of their everyday lives. These can be related to parenting or financial and health-related difficulties,  for example. If your family is experiencing trouble or difficulties, you should not delay when it comes to getting help. Public authorities, non-governmental organisations and churches can provide help to families who are experiencing difficulties or crises. 

In different situations, there may be a need to agree on child custody with the assistance of the child welfare supervisor of the wellbeing services county.
