Free tools for separating families
Six practical tools to help you plan, prepare and decide, built around the questions separating couples actually face. Every tool is free and runs in your browser: no email address, no sign-up, and nothing you type is stored on our servers.
If you are not sure where to start, most people begin with the text tone-checker, then the cost calculator. For the wider picture, our guide to family mediation explains the process the tools support.
Paste a message to your ex and get an instant read on how it may land, before you send it.
Compare the likely cost and timescale of mediation against going to court for your situation.
Check in under a minute whether your case is likely to qualify for the £500 government voucher.
Financial disclosure checklist
Build a personalised list of the documents you need for financial disclosure.
Design a week-by-week contact pattern you can share with your ex-partner.
Holiday and special occasions planner
Plan Christmas, birthdays and school holidays fairly across the year.
More free help from our network: The Divorce Circle offers a free parenting plan tool and a free support community for separating families. The Divorce Circle is run by Family Legal Ltd, the publisher of this site.
The tools give guidance, not legal advice. For anything binding, see making your agreement official or speak to an accredited mediator or solicitor.
