Making a plan to end / leave marriage

[Toight]

For those of us who know it's time to end our marriage, but have no idea where to start: help us please!

Practical advice as well as legal welcomed, thank you

Save save and save.
Put yourself in a good position, own car, credit record clean etc.
Move the children to state school if necessary so they don't blame the split for moving schools and have too much change at once.

Copies of documents like bank statements, P60 etc.
Passports for you and DC.

Research where to live - rental costs, impact on journey to school etc.

Separate bank account and mobile phone account
Check on benefit entitlement

If it's amicable, and children are young, start doing things separately so they get a little bit used to not always being with you.

But agree with save save save!

Thank you

Is it best to start preparing a few key family members and friends by bringing them up to speed / dropping a few hints, or wait until the deed is done?

Ensure child benefit in your name for children.

Separate bank account. If problem opening one get an invite for post office card account.

Once separated advise joint accounts so overdraft cant be run up. This Will however freeze account.
