Long-running UK divorce support community.

Community and peer support
Peer support means talking to people who have been through a separation themselves. Online forums and communities let you ask questions at any hour, read how others handled the same problem and feel less alone. Other members can share what worked for them, but they can't give legal or financial advice on your case.

Filter community and peer support by where you live, cost and how to get help
When does peer support help?
It helps most when you feel isolated, when you want to know what to expect next, or when friends and family have heard enough. Read a community's rules before you post. Good communities are moderated and let you take part without using your real name.
How much do support communities cost?
Wikivorce's forum is free to join, and it also sells fixed-fee services. The divorcd community is a paid membership with anonymous rooms for each stage of separation.
How to choose a community
Look at how it is moderated, whether you can stay anonymous, and whether members' experiences are kept separate from professional advice. Be careful about sharing anything that could identify you, your ex or your children, and never share documents from family court proceedings.
