    Is it possible to do a "diy" seperation?, both parties want out. We don't really want to hand out a ball of money to solicitors if its possible to do it ourselves.
    What is involved, do we need to go to a solicitor?

    So long as you're both in agreement of dividing up property, access and maintenance of children etc, then it should be straight forward. Go to a solicitor and ask for a separation agreement. Its a less drawn out and cheaper route than a judicial, where a couple aren't in agreement of those aspects.

    Thanks Abi, The only issue would be the house but there is a possibilty that I could buy her half out. The house is paid for, our children are 23 and 18 and Id like to keep them at the family home if possible. I'll make an appointment with my solicitor next week to get the ball rolling.

    You don't need a solicitor, you can contact the Family Mediation Service, as far as I know it's free but, understandably, there's a long waiting list.
