Keep the Peace During a Separation. Even after months or years of mounting tensions with a spouse, you may not yet be ready to make the permanent decision to divorce. Many couples find that a period of separation can provide clarity of mind regarding whether or not they are ready to end their marriage, or wish to try to reconcile. Here are some things to think about if separating, to make the separation period as peaceful and productive as possible.
1. Remain respectful and cooperative with your spouse.
2. Decide in advance how expenses will be divided and finances managed.
3. Create clear guidelines on how long the separation will last or how the end of the separation will otherwise be determined.
4. Make an agreement that governs your separation.
