Where are you right now?
This helps us suggest the right next step for your situation.
I'm thinking about it. Nothing decided.
You want to understand your options before deciding anything.
We're in the process of separating
You've decided to separate and need to sort out the legal and financial side.
We've already separated
You've been apart for a while but haven't finalised the paperwork.
Planning ahead (prenup or cohabitation)
You want to protect yourself before moving in together or getting married.
What's your relationship status?
This changes which rules apply and which guides we show you.
Married
You are legally married. Separation terms are usually set out in a separation agreement; divorce is a separate step.
Common-law / unmarried partners
You've been living together as a couple without being legally married.
Do you have children together?
Parenting arrangements are one of the most important parts of any separation agreement.
Yes, we have children together
Your next step will cover decision-making, parenting schedules, child support and shared child expenses.
