Please advise if possible

Husband is leaving - going abroad to family.
I need to get the house valued and try to arrange mortgage (appointment booked in a couple of weeks)
He leaves tomorrow- what else do I need to try and get sorted before he goes?
My brain can't think at the moment
Much appreciated

Find out and photocopy or photograph as much as possible about his finances

Start the divorce application off in the UK asap. Laws are different elsewhere

Documentation you might need like marriage certificates and financials. Make sure you have access to any joint accounts or anything relating to the house like utilities where you need online log ins.

Hide the kids' passports/birth certificates if you have them

Yes, to online log-ins and stupid things like the Virgin password for customer enquiries.

He's basically leaving with just a suitcase
I do all the bills normally - I've change the mortgage direct debit into my account and spoke to them so I can have it shown on my app. No children between us, he has credit card debt (as do I) but nothing joint apart from the mortgage. No joint accounts even.
I think he's just cancelling all his direct debits like phone etc so I need to know if there's debt letters how do I avoid them coming here? Just return with - not at this address??
I've basically ran the house. Wills will need changing - and life insurance - I have a meeting with our broker about this tomorrow
