Difference between revisions of "Separation and the Law"

Separation can be extraordinarily difficult on children. In most registries of the Provincial Court, couples are required to attend a Parenting After Separation program. This program, which is <span class="noglossary">brief</span> and free, teaches parents how to communicate with one another after separation and how to talk to their children about separation. It is an extremely useful program, and one which I encourage all separating parents take. You can find more information about this program and other issues relating to children and separation can be found in the chapter [[Children in Family Law Matters]] within the section [[Parenting After Separation]].

Separation is, of course, also difficult for the adults who are separating. More information about the emotional dimensions of separation can be found in the next section of this chapter, [[Separating Emotionally]].
