Firstly, make a note of the date that you decided the relationship was over, even if you are still living in the same property. This date will be needed by different agencies and by your lawyers.

How are you going to tell your children about your separation? Discuss this with your partner and reach an agreement on what the children should be told and how. Remember that it is a difficult time for your children as well as for you and your partner; it is important that they are not put in a position where they are aware of parental conflict or feel they have to choose between their parents. This can have a lasting impact on children's emotional welfare and development. Try to put the children's needs first.


On a practical basis think about:


who the children will live with;


how the children will share their time between the parents;


whether it is possible for the children to stay in the family home so they have stability;


whether the arrangements for children are practical;


getting the children to school, employment or other commitments.


If it is not possible to reach agreement, then consider getting legal advice or trying mediation.


Please call 01872 706050 for advice on separation or divorce.
