options provided (See Appendix C). The student must use systemic theory in the

Summary description of client
The clients in question are Cheryl and Ross, a married couple who pride 6 years of
matrimony, and have one child, a boy (Lucas) aged 3 years. They are both in their late 30’s, and
run successful diversified business ventures. They have a successful Limousine company ran by
Ross. The company has seen significant growth, and recently, has expanded to two new locations
within the state. Consequently, Ross spends most of his day at work managing the expansive
business. Cheryl, on the other hand, runs a catering company, and two restaurants. She’s mostly
busy, and though loves being a mother, her daily engagement takes a toll of her day. She
however, is keen to avail herself to her son and husband. Recently, Ross expressed desires to
have two more kids. He says he wants this to happen soon to avoid too large age-difference
between his first and second child, to which Cheryl has a contrary opinion, arguing that their
busy schedule at work, in the quest for financial leverage cannot allow them to have another
child. Ross, on the other hand, argues that he has endured the loneliness of being the only child,
which he would wish Lucas to experience. He argues that having a large family has always been
