Tips for trial separation?

[Moneymachine]

I am willing to give it another try by 3months trial separation. Any tips how to set it up from those who have been there?

DH says he won’t move out unless I contribute to his rent elsewhere or he won’t pay me anything towards the bills for this period. I will not agree to that, there is simply not enough money in pot to do that

Thanks in advance

I think you need to share the basic reasons for the separation.
He doesn't sound like he's agreeing to what your wanting and could cause resentment and him not wanting to return or work on the relationship in that time.

Not many men would want a "trial separation" on the terms you're talking about, because once out they would lose control of everything - finances, child access, etc.

You could then draw out a divorce process for years (without any intention of reconciling), stopping access claiming he had abandoned his children (assuming you have any together?), and bankrupting him.

Not saying that's what you would necessarily do, but that's the risk from his side.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have now realised it will not work. I am getting legal advice tomorrow

Also think about what the purpose of the trial is. What would you want / want to be different at the end of the 3-months.
