Sadly, divorce is part of NZ life, with one in three legal marriages ending in divorce. Many people are left emotionally battered and bruised at this time; none more so than the children, wider family members, and friends of the divorced couple.
As you heal from this event, and as you grow as a person have you thought of a Divorce Ceremony? Like a marriage ceremony, a divorce ceremony is unique to you; it can be what you want it to be!
- A Divorce Ceremony can be held for just one partner from the marriage, or both parties.
- It is a formal or semi-formal occasion where you pledge your love and commitment for your children, despite the fact that you and your partner are no longer married.
- I is a time to pledge to your extended family/whanau that they are all still an integral part of your life?
It is an occasion to tell your friends that they do not have to choose – that you are committed to mutual friendships, even though your life is taking a new direction. - Divorce is one door closing, but another door opening, not just for you, but all your loved ones.
It is a time to pledge to commitments of the past, as you move into the future with new horizons and opportunities
A Divorce Ceremony is a simple, dignified, and meaningful ceremony followed by a meal or drinks, held anywhere you choose and at any time.
