→Separation and children
Separation can be extraordinarily difficult for children. In most registries of the Provincial Court, parents are required to attend the [https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/life-events/divorce/family-justice/who-can-help/pas Parenting After Separation Course]. This program, which is <span class="noglossary">brief</span> and free, teaches parents how to communicate with one another after separation and how to talk to their children about separation. It is an extremely useful course, and one that I think all separating parents should take. You can find more information about this program and other issues relating to children and separation in the chapter entitled [[Children in Family Law Matters|Children]], in the section [[Parenting after Separation]].
Separation is, of course, also difficult for the adults who are separating. You can find more information about the emotional dimensions of separation in the next section of this chapter, [[Separating Emotionally]]section of this chapter.
