Divorce and separation

Our divorce and separation section is here to give you all the guidance you need when it comes to managing your finances during a relationship break-up.

It doesn’t matter what your situation is. You may be divorcing or separating; have children or not; own your home or rent; or live in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland. We have guides that will cover your specific situation.
