The videos in the When Separating series use a mix of drama-driven stories and documentary-style features.

The videos cover issues about children, property and finances, family violence, and resolving disputes. They suggest how you can do what's best for yourself and members of your family.

Each video in When Separating focuses on a different aspect that can be involved with separation, including information about what Family Dispute Resolution and legal services are available to help you.
