The Separation Risk Scorecard

Free 5-minute scorecard

Is Your Separation Heading into a War Zone?

Spot the warning signs before months turn into years, costs mount and conflict takes over.

The relationship may be ending. The conflict could be just beginning.

Arguments over the children. Uncertainty about money. No clear plan for where you’ll live. When decisions stall, months can turn into years—and the emotional and financial costs keep growing.

Whether you chose this separation or it was thrust upon you, you need a way forward. Your children need stability. And decisions made under pressure can shape your family’s life long after the relationship ends.

Take a few minutes to identify where things could go sideways — and what you can address now.

What the scorecard reviews

A free, five-minute look at the foundations of your separation.

When everything feels urgent, it’s hard to know where to start.

This free assessment checks six important areas of your separation, helping you spot warning signs and identify practical steps before difficulties become entrenched.

Your results highlight what is working, where risks are building, and how Family.Reimagined’s coordinated team could help you move forward.

  • Emotional Wellbeing and Support

    How much the separation is affecting your daily decisions, and whether you have people you can genuinely rely on.

  • Your Children

    How settled your children's routine is, how clear they are about what's happening, and how well they're kept out of adult disagreements.

  • Communication and Boundaries

    How conversations about parenting, money and housing are going, and whether you can disagree without pressure or fear.

  • Finances and Potential Costs

    Whether you can cover essential expenses, how clear shared finances are, and how open each of you is being with information.

  • Housing

    How clear and workable your living arrangements are for in the short-term, and long-term, for you and for your children.

  • Timing and Next Steps

    How aligned your timeframes are for formalising the separation, how clear your next steps feel, and whether important dates are being addressed.
