Support makes a difference
Separation can be difficult, confusing, and stressful. It’s a good idea to have support as you go through it.
If you can, ask your family and friends for support. You might also be able to get support from a counsellor, therapist, legal advisor, clergy person, or support group.
COVID-19 makes getting support a little more complicated, but support is still available.
Knowledge is power
The more you know about your legal situation, the better prepared you will be. Knowing what is required, what the law says, and how the process works can reduce your stress and make you feel more confident.
