One house becomes two. No argument about the sofa.
A separation is a settlement with both people still in the room. What you brought, what you bought together, what the children keep — on a record that belongs to neither of you and that both of you can read.
You will recognise it.
Nobody wants to talk. Everything needs deciding.
The lawyers bill by the hour for a list you could have written yourselves.
“I paid for that.” “No, we did.”
The receipt was in a drawer in the house one of you no longer lives in.
The children’s things get argued over like everything else.
Unless they are marked as theirs, before anyone is angry.
What you do
Both of you verify. Then the house and the papers.
Deed, mortgage, the purchase contract, the receipts you still have. Ownership shares and who has paid what since the split — with dates.
Every thing: brought, bought together, or the children’s
Tag it once, in the open. Then sort: hers, his, sell, the children’s. Contested things go to a list you take to the mediator — not to a text thread at midnight.
The house: buyout or sale, with the numbers written
Value range × share, minus what each has paid since. One page, agreed by both, as a template for the lawyer. Then each of you continues in your own record, with what you kept.
When it is done, the record splits in two: each household starts a Plan with its things and their history. The children’s things are marked as theirs in both. The cycle.
Brought, bought together, or the children’s. Then hers, his, sell.
Every thing gets its origin first — brought in, bought together with the date, or the children’s — and that is what makes the split calm. Contested things go on one list for the mediator.

Two verified people. Neither of you controls the record.
Every owner, parent and heir verifies once: government ID plus a selfie match, through a licensed verification provider for your country. We never see or store the biometric — the provider does. Nobody can join as an email address, claim an item, or add a wish in someone else's name. The record shows roles, not names — each of you chooses how you appear, and the mediator sees what both of you agreed to show.
