The legal end of a marriage – divorce – can be one of the single most stressful and difficult things a person can experience. No one who enters into a marriage expects it to end in separation, and no one wishes for the havoc that is created when the union needs to end. 

​

· Identify your support network. Friends and family are key partners who can help you through this difficult time.
 

· Take extra good care of yourself – and your children if you are a parent. Divorce can be traumatic, and healing is needed. Taking care of yourself helps to rebuild strength, and others can help you to do this. Call upon your support network.

 

Life as everyone has known it changes dramatically in a divorce. Divorcing parents need to not only look after their own individual wellbeing, but they must be aware of their children’s needs throughout the transition. Seeking help and support is an essential step to healing.
