What might change

Jeremy: Here are some of the things that might change.

Mandeep: One of your parents probably won't live with you anymore. Usually one parent gets another place to live.

Jeremy: You might have to move to a new home.

Mandeep: You will probably only be with your parents one at a time. You might see them each for about the same amount of time, or you might not see one parent as often as the other.

Jeremy: You might have two homes, and spend part of the time with one parent and part of the time with the other parent.

Mandeep: Or you might live with one parent and visit the other parent.

Jeremy: Your parents might have less money than before. You might not be able to get new things or eat out as often, at least for a while.

Mandeep: You might also be asked to help out around the house a little more than before.
