- Prepare and understand your financial position – Get copies of important documents such as bank statement, superannuation statements, income and taxation return’s passports and birth certificates.
- Let People know what’s going on – Advise your close friends and family that you have separated, let the children’s school know, and advise any Government agencies such as Centrelink and Medicare.
- Information is power – make sure you get legal advice specifically tailored to your situation and circumstances.
- Get Support – let family and friends support you and if your comfortable doing so, bring someone you trust to your initial consultation for support and a second set of ears.
- Write down your questions – Before you see your lawyer write down a list of any questions you might want answered and bring it with you to the appointment.
- Finally, beware of the backyard Lawyer- all too often well-meaning family and friends will weigh in and offer you advice.

This isn’t legal advice and it can often cloud your thinking and may not have any relation to your circumstances.
