Difference between revisions of "Separating Emotionally"

}}This section talks about the emotional dimensions of separation. Although the section [[Separating and the Law]] goes into the legal dimensions of separation in a lot of detail, the law and the courts only deal with a narrow slice of all the things that go on when a relationship ends and often ignore, because they must, many of the larger emotional and psychological issues. Even though the law doesn't talk about them, these issues sometimes have a huge influence on people's ability to work together after separation and often play an important role in determining how separating adults will go about resolving their legal problem, the length of time it takes to find that resolution, and whether they will be able to work together to solve future problems after that resolution. An understanding of the emotions involved in separation can help to reduce conflict and the cost of resolving the legal issues arising from separation.
