Finances and property
Where there is violence, coercive control, stalking, threats or immediate danger, use appropriate emergency or specialist support rather than routine negotiation.
Record current living arrangements, access to essential belongings, household bills and short-term practical needs.
Record current arrangements, agreed changes, school/health needs and urgent issues factually and without inflammatory labels.
Organise assets, debts, income, expenses and existing agreements before making major commitments or transfers.
Divorce, parenting, support and property rules vary significantly by jurisdiction. Check the applicable process before filing or signing.
Family matters can involve urgent safety and legal issues. GetInstantResolve is a planning tool and does not replace local legal or specialist support.
