Setting healthy boundaries is one of the best things you can do for yourself, especially during a time in which you’re probably already feeling stressed and overwhelmed.

If you live with your spouse and haven’t yet been able to separate due to stay-at-home orders, you may want to consider sleeping in different rooms or at least separating your living spaces during the day.

If you and your spouse have separated, you may need to create emotional boundaries and limit communication. While you will still need to coordinate important activities like exchanges and discuss how each household will approach safety and sanitation, you should give yourself the space you need. In many cases, conversations that are normally done face-to-face can easily be moved to email.

Many people make hasty decisions under stressful circumstances. If you’re considering liquidating your investments, moving, or making another kind of decision that could significantly affect your physical, emotional, or financial well-being, give yourself some time to think it over. Regret is the last thing you need on your mind in the midst of your divorce.

If you aren’t sure about whether you should make a big decision, ask a trusted friend or family member. Even if they don’t give you advice that ultimately influences your decision, talking through the decision with someone else might give you more insight into whether or not it’s the right move for you.

There’s never been a more important time to rely on your friends, family, and anyone else who’s supporting you.

If you’re in the midst of getting divorced, check in with your divorce attorney and discuss how and when you can proceed. If you haven’t yet begun the divorce process, now is the perfect time to begin talking with a family law attorney.
