    Separation

    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
    • what, if any, financial assistance or maintenance you will need to seek.

    See the Federal Circuit and Family Court Website for more information and resources.
