- Once you and your partner have separated you will need to make a lot of decisions.
- You will need to make practical decisions about your:
- children;
- finances including weekly income and expenses;
- assets and liabilities; and
- living arrangements.
- It is a good idea to write a list of all the things that need to be resolved and try to deal with them one by one. Coming to an agreement with your ex-partner may be difficult as emotions can run high. Firstly attend to all the things that do not require agreement from the other person.
- If you are having trouble communicating or reaching agreement about some or all of these issues then you may need to go to a specialist mediator known as a family dispute resolution practitioner or see a lawyer.
