Create a New Enrolment Parent (Complex Split)
You would enter the Enrolment comprising Enrolled Parent and Student records as usual, then an additional parent record to create a Complex Split. Refer to the 'How to handle split family arrangements' guide for a detailed definition. You then use the Addresses & Communication Rules on the enrolled student record (for each child in the family) to define:
The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records that the student lives with
The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records who is to be the emergency contact
The parent/guardian(s) from both the original enrolled parent and additional parent records who will receive correspondence generated out of TASS.web
This guide assumes that your school's address block structure adheres to the recommendations specified in the ‘Setting Up Parent Addresses in TASS.web’ guide.

Once the additional parent record has been created you can then incorporate a split billing arrangement if required (when the student becomes a current student). This is the first step in creating a Complex Split family in the Enrolments module. This guide uses the example of:
