• Divorce separation: many people wonder when and how to separate after they’ve decided to divorce. This is a very personal decision, and it’s governed by your finances (can you afford to live separately?) as well as your emotions (can you live together peacefully even though your divorce is pending?). Legally, there are pros and cons to separating, too. If you have children, you may want to have a parenting plan in place before you separate, for example, so that you won’t have to worry about negotiating when you’ll see your children if you move out of the family home.
