Regarding the financial aspect, get a financial order. This may include maintenance if your kids are still in school (not tertiary education). That way it's a clean break. Not doing so leaves you wide open to a challenge down the road should your ex partner's situation change. I divorced 16 years ago and am very glad I did it that way. I am currently studying law as a mature student. Incidentally, the agreement can be done via mediation without resorting to going to court.
