Whether you have already separated or are contemplating separation there are a number of issues that will require consideration.

Knowing what your rights and obligations are before separation is empowering.

Many clients find it useful to have an initial session to discuss all of these issues (such as care arrangements for your children, division of relationship property, payment of child support and spousal maintenance) and to decide (where appropriate) on a strategy going forward.
