Season 1 - Episode 2: Separation and divorce - I’ve just separated, what now?

In this episode we move from thinking about separation to the next stage – when people have separated from their partner. We talk about ways to try to work things out amicably with an ex-partner and keeping things out of court, if possible. We also introduce property and children, which will be covered in more depth in later episodes.
