- Separation can be an upsetting experience for everyone involved. It is understandable that you may feel stressed at this time. It is important for you and your children that you have the appropriate support to help you through this difficult time.
- When you separate, you and your former partner may need to make important decisions about the future care of your children and how to divide your property, money and belongings. Working through these issues is often difficult and emotionally challenging.
- Separation can also be a stressful time for your children. They may experience a range of emotions that are difficult for them to deal with and talk about with you. They may also behave in ways that are unusual for them. More information Marriage, families and separation (prescribed brochure) | Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia (fcfcoa.gov.au)
