Next Steps

Separation and divorce are difficult and stressful. You will be involved in many decisions. The more you know, the better prepared you will be for them. We built this Portal to give you a place to start your preparations. It includes:

1. Overview in 25 Clicks: Learn about your rights and choices.

2. Start Building Your Separation Plan: Helps you build a stronger plan by collecting the documents and information you will need.

3. Next Steps

Every person’s situation and circumstances will be different. There will also be some similarities in what is needed. We have put together two different resources to help you.

Community Resources: Searchable by jurisdiction. Find who can help you with issues such as dealing with domestic violence, housing, counselling, mental health, finances, housing, etc. in your community.

We started with three jurisdictions so you can tell us if this is helpful.

Next Steps Guide: A guide about who can help with your legal issues, and how they can be decided, together with some links to legal resources.

We would like to hear your thoughts on the Portal to help make it better. Please share your feedback here.

All the best,
