There are a number of practical and legal matters to think about when separating, including:
- how you will actually give effect to your separation;
- what, if any, safety precautions you will need to take in the event of family violence;
- what arrangements you will make for your children;
- how you will divide the property of your relationship; and
- what, if any, financial assistance or maintenance you will need to seek.
