Dealing with divorce and separation

Dealing with divorce and separation

As we get older, relationships break down. We drift apart from the friends we were once so close to, and wouldn’t go a day without speaking to. The stresses of everyday life and our commitments often get in the way.

But what happens when the relationship that breaks down is with your other half? What happens when the one you have worked so hard at together is the one that breaks down?

Divorce and separation can be tough, especially when the split isn’t mutual. For many people they can remain friends after a separation, and work through things together. But for some it can be a horrible ordeal. The last thing you want to think about while your relationship is ending in the finances behind your separation, but it is something that needs to be discussed.
