I know this seems pretty obvious but it's harder than it looks.
Having so many people filling your ears with opinions and demands can lead you to make some decisions you may regret later. At least that happened to me and my ex-partner. And it's hard not to listen your closest people, but you and your partner are the ones who are going to have to deal with the consequences. Ours were a couple thousand pounds down the drain and me losing my home.
If you can, sit with your partner and keep your relationship separation/divorce to yourselves. See if you can talk it through together and sort the divorce out yourselves without lawyers. There's a lot of stuff here in these help guides that I wish I had going through a divorce at the beginning - use those instead.
It's easy to give into the anger or hurt or pain of a relationship ending, but its best not to let those affect your decisions - it can save you a lot of money in the long run.
