Before we started BrightSide 8 years ago people going through a separation had few alternatives to a traditional, long, expensive, stressful court fight. But now BrightSide offers all of the options discussed in this article so people in Perth and Western Australia can choose to reduce the stress and expense of their separation in a way other countries have been doing for decades.
