	This chapter starts by taking a quick look at separation, annulment and divorce, and talks about a few urban myths about separation and divorce. The following sections look in more detail at the legal aspects of [[~~Separating~~ and the Law\|separation]] and [[Divorce and the Law on Getting Divorced\|divorce]], the [[Separating Emotionally\|emotional dimensions of separation]], and issues about [[Behaviour, Boundaries and Privacy after Separation\|privacy and good behaviour after separation]]. The do-it-yourself divorce process is reviewed in a fair amount of detail in the [[Divorce and the Law on Getting Divorced]] section at the end of this chapter.

	All of the information in this chapter applies just as much to people in same-sex relationships as it does to people in opposite-sex relationships. There is no difference between how the law treats people in same- and opposite-sex relationships in Canada.

	On the other hand, the fact that a married couple has separated won't prevent you from having new relationships, including new sexual relationships and new cohabiting relationships. Technically, this sort of thing — being in a sexual relationship with anyone other than your spouse — is adultery, but no one is likely to care. The [[~~Separating~~ and the Law]] section in this chapter has a lot of information about new relationships after separation.
