Sadly divorce and separation are still a feature in laterlife, even after surviving many years of marriage. In this section we've tried to pull together some resources to help during what can't  fail to be a troubling time. We also include a page on re-marriage and one on making a success of stepfamilies, with some useful links to other experts.

As well as the sites listed below we would encourage you to have a look through the articles below by Maggi Stamp - laterlife's relationship counsellor. Every month Maggi Stamp, a qualified and experienced relationship counsellor for Relate and in private practice, writes about some of the emotional challenges we meet in later life. If you would like to see the rest of Maggi's articles please follow this link to the laterlife Relationship Counselling Index

National Council for the Divorced and Separated www.ncds.org.ukCrazy Time - Surviving Divorce

Divorce Aid is a new and extensive self-help and support website for families going through the separation and divorce process. The articles range from factual and practical, to alternative approaches to coping. It aims to reduce the conflict and distress associated with the divorce process, thus enabling families to minimise legal costs. Divorce Aid is already receiving much praise from many national organisations and agencies as well as the public. There is a wide variety of useful information and links, well worth investigating. www.divorceaid.co.uk

www.divorce.co.uk is a regularly updated resource of information on legal matters, mediation, and counselling support. Very comprehensive and with an extremely useful "Who Can Help?" section.

www.divorce-online.co.uk is another excellent resource of practical and legal advice as well as an online community for divorcees.

There are a few American slanted sites listed below so be careful about legal advice offered which may not apply over here, never the less there is some useful information.

Shared Parenting - Divorce Support Net Links Part of the US site About.com, a lot of the information is relevant to the UK.

SPIG - Guidelines for separating parents The Shared Parenting Information Group offers advice and support for families who are separated or divorced.

Family Law Advice on Divorce, Child Support, Custody, Visitation, Alimony, etc Once more this is an American site, so the legal information is not relevant to the UK. If anyone could set up a UK based version of this I'm sure that the response would be well worth the effort.
