Divorce and Separation
Resources for those going through divorce or separation
Community support is vital when you are going through something as life changing as a divorce or separation. And it can be incredibly difficult to ask for the help you need. We offer advice on asking for support while going through a divorce.
​
A divorce or separation almost always results in a major disruption to your day-to-day life, and one or both partners often end up having to buy necessary household items that went with the other person. We think that, even more than weddings, divorces are a time for your community to come together and help you start your new life. You can use our registry feature to add items from anywhere on the internet.
