The Companion Pages are created to support you after reading the Before You File ebook, when thoughts are still scattered and emotions are still settling.

While the ebook helps you understand what matters before separation or divorce, the Companion Pages help you slow down and apply that understanding quietly — without pressure, panic, or rushed decisions.

They are not about planning your next move.
They are about helping you think clearly in a noisy phase.

How the Companion Pages Help

The Companion Pages help you:

• organise thoughts that feel overwhelming or circular

• pause emotional reactions and create mental space

• reflect safely on sensitive areas like documents, finances, evidence, and conduct

• prepare yourself before speaking to family members or professionals

• recognise common mistakes early and stabilise calmly

• reduce anxiety by putting scattered concerns in one place

Many women use these pages alongside a separate notebook or diary, keeping everything related to this phase together in one private space.

What the Companion Pages Include

The Companion Pages include structured sections that gently guide you through:

• emotional readiness and timing awareness

• understanding pressure from family, society, and circumstances

• documents, finances, and personal records — from an awareness perspective

• gold, gifts, and Stridhan clarity without confrontation

• evidence, digital behaviour, and credibility awareness

• living arrangements and conduct considerations

• preparing yourself before speaking to a lawyer

• recognising common early mistakes and moving forward without shame

Each section is designed to help you reflect, not decide.

How These Pages Are Meant to Be Used

• Self-paced and private

• No fixed order or deadlines

• You can write directly or simply read and pause

• There are no “right” or “wrong” answers

Even reading without writing can be grounding.

Important Boundary

The Companion Pages do not replace:

• legal advice

• financial planning

• emotional counselling

They support clarity before action, so that any next step you take later is calmer, informed, and responsible.

Clarity does not come from urgency.
It comes from quiet, steady thinking.

The Companion Pages are here to support exactly that.
