“We’ve Decided to Separate – What Happens Now?“

Ann from Relationship Wellbeing Specialist

Making the decision to separate from a long term partner is rarely easy, but staying in a deeply unhappy relationship is no walk in the park either.

If you’ve been struggling with the decision, it can be difficult to know what to do and it’s even more complicated if children are involved.

You have to juggle their needs as well as yours, and you know that even if you and your partner do separate, the children will always be your common bond. It’s not like you can just walk away and never see each other again.

While it isn’t easy dismantling a life, it is more manageable for everyone if you can control the process and part amicably. Separating calmly and consciously is easier on the kids and paves the way for a more harmonious future with your ex-partner.
Separation brings uncertainty

One of the scariest things about breaking up is the uncertainty. All those questions that you can’t answer… What’s going to happen? Where will I live? How will we manage the kids? What will we do about the house? How do we organize the transition? How much will it cost?

Hearing the horror stories about couples who hate each other, go to court and spend thousands in legal fees just makes it worse. It’s not what you want but sometimes you fear that’s how it might end.

It’s only natural to be anxious about the unknown; it’s the way we’re wired as human beings. BUT we can take steps to lessen the fear and the best way is to learn what we don’t know.
Going to court is not the only option

The first thing to understand is that going to Court is NOT the only choice when it comes to the practicalities of separation or property settlement. It is only one of the four options available to you.

Of the other three options, there is a way for you and your partner to organize a property settlement between yourselves that is amicable, legally binding and inexpensive.

It’s perfect for couples who want to dissolve their relationship without fighting and it’s perfect for parents who want to minimize the fallout of their separation.
