    Separation covers the end of a relationship and the resulting legal consequences in England and Wales, including how finances are shared, property and housing arrangements, and parenting time with children. A solicitor helps by gathering financial information, negotiating settlements, drafting a separation agreement or consent order, advising on mediation, and guiding clients through potential court steps if disputes arise. The work is shaped by how the couple separates, what assets exist, and what children need in terms of contact and support.
