A trial separation ends through mutual discussion and a clear decision to either reconcile or divorce

Ending a trial separation requires thoughtful communication and decisive action between both partners. The process typically involves a formal discussion where both parties share their experiences, insights, and desired outcomes from the separation period.

• For reconciliation: Create a detailed reunion plan that includes:
  • Couples counselling arrangements
  • Timeline for moving back together
  • Solutions for previously identified issues
• For divorce: Take these initial steps:
  • Consult with a family law professional
  • Consider mediation services
  • Begin documenting shared assets

Regardless of the outcome, it’s essential to formalize the decision in writing and establish clear boundaries and expectations moving forward.
