Separation and Divorce Web Sites for Youth

The Law Courts Education Society of B.C. is pleased to announce the development of two public legal education Web sites: A Kids Guide to Separation and Divorce (ages 5-12); and A Teen Guide to Parental Separation and Divorce (pre-teen and teen). To view the sites, visit www.familieschange.ca.

Professionals who deal with families experiencing separation or divorce can access the Web sites, which were carefully crafted with child development expertise. They provide clear and objective information in a way that appeals to young people.

The Web sites are intended to help facilitate explaining the process of separation and divorce to kids and youth. They may be used to introduce legal information, or to guide children and youth to further information.

The Ministry of Attorney General developed the Web sites with the financial assistance of the Department of Justice Canada.
