Logistics of divorce

[Pumba3]

So I have bitten the bullet and asked my husband for a divorce. Aside from worrying about the children and how to cope with inevitable fallout. I’m lost as to how to manage the logistics of divorce, who moves out, how do you arrange childcare arrangements, how do you sort out the finances. My husband will no doubt make life as difficult as he possible can and will no doubt make things much more painful than they need to be so any advice would be gratefully received x

Legally, childcare and finances are sorted separately from each other, although they obviously do influence each other somewhat courts like to deal with them independently of each other.

You have a number of options to start the ball rolling if you think it might be difficult - you could try mediation in the first instance and see if you can get common ground and formalise finances and child arrangements. If it cannot be sorted amicably (or semi-amicably), family court will be necessary.

Housing etc is sorted via financial remedy - it will depend on your individual circumstances as to the best course of action. You will need to fully disclose your full marital assets and liabilities to get to a fair arrangement. You can also see a solicitor for advice - many offer a free initial consultation.
