Breaking up

Breaking up is always painful, and many people just want to get away from the whole sorry affair as quickly as possible, even if it means leaving loose ends untied. But this isn’t a great solution. Loose ends have a way of tripping you up when you least expect it, and realising several years too late that you made a costly mistake will make you feel angry and resentful.

Download this guide as an easy-to-print leaflet - Breaking Up checklist (225 KB).

That is why we've produced a complete guide to help you sort things out as fairly as possible, and avoid leaving any loose ends.

Here’s our checklist of what you need to think about, where you need to get advice, and what you need to organise when you start your new life.
