How do I tell my partner/spouse?

The best way to communicate with your partner/spouse is something only you know best. There is no one right way to share this type of decision with a family member but it is important to consider the circumstances in your household, your relationship, the timing, and where the children will be when the news is broken.

In some cases, the element of surprise is important to prevent the loss of access to funds or accounts. Alternatively, some clients choose to share the news in the safe space of a therapists office.

If you are concerned about the next step in moving forward, it is helpful to talk to an attorney about the different options so that you can make an informed decision about how to proceed. At Alexander Law, we will discuss your options with you and the best way to communicate with your spouse or partner based upon your families needs.
