Divorce & Separation

The following is not legal advice but is legal information only. It is not intended to replace or usurp the advice of qualified and trained lawyers.

The break down of the family unit is a major stress factor in life. The decisions that are made at the time of the break down are of tremendous importance and have a long lasting impact not only on the parties themselves but also the Children.

Where there are Children involved the parties are never truly separated but there is merely a restructuring of the family unit. It is important that the parties and their counsel treat each other with dignity and respect. If the parents can continue to treat each other with dignity and respect then that alone will promote dignity, respect and a high self-esteem in their children. The quality of parenting after separation need not suffer on family break down.


It is important that each parent promote the relationship between the children, the other parent and the extended families of each parent. There is great potential for irreparable damage to the parties and to the Children on marriage break down. This is already a traumatic time for parents and children and a rational, reasoned approach to the resolution of the issues will go a long way to providing an emotionally stable lifestyle for the Children. You must always remember that the Children will no doubt do as you do and not as you say. Set a good example and rise above.
