Route / 2 steps

Parting well

For two people who have decided to separate, and would rather agree it than be told it.

Who this is for

You have both decided to separate, and you would rather agree what happens than be told it.

What it is

Two steps, and both are free to anyone who needs them. A Second Opinion pack you can hand to a practitioner, and Parting Terms — a written record of what you agreed while you could still agree it.

The steps, in order

You can take them out of order. Nothing here locks a module, and no step waits on the one before it.

  • Parting Terms

    Closed by default. The dignified exit.

    Nine sections on what gets divided, and a conduct protocol for the part that does the lasting damage.

  • Second Opinion

    One outside hour, properly prepared for.

    A two-page pack a practitioner can read cold, if you decide to involve one. Wills, property and powers of attorney are theirs to advise on, not ours.

A route, not a gate

A route is a named list of modules with something written down at the end of it. Nothing in a route locks anything, and you can take the steps out of order.

Why a route rather than a list

Thirty-two modules is a lot to look at when you do not yet know which of them you need. A route is somebody having already answered that: these ones, in this order, because the earlier ones give the later ones something to work from. The Structural Report is easier to write an agreement from than a blank page, and it needs two finished Soundings before it exists at all.

What it does not do

It does not lock anything, and it is not a course. Nothing is withheld until you finish a step, there is no schedule, and stopping halfway costs you nothing — what you wrote stays written and the modules stay open. Where a module genuinely needs both of you, that module is what waits, exactly as it would if you had opened it on your own.

What it never shows either of you

A route shows where each of you has got to and nothing else. It does not record how long anything took, or how long the other one has left something undone. Elapsed time is not a number this product prints about a person.
