Shielded Separation Documentation System

Everything you need to document your separation, organize your money and get ready for your lawyer, in one private system.

When a relationship ends, the facts pile up fast: the date it ended, money that moved, messages you’ll need later, lawyer letters, court dates. Most people try to keep it all in their head, their phone or a messy folder, and lose what matters when they need it most.

Shielded Separation gives you one organized place for all of it. Seven tools work together and share one numbering system, so every record points to its proof and your lawyer can find anything in seconds.

What’s included

1. Shielded Separation App
Your records in your pocket. Log events the moment they happen: under-one-roof entries, patterns, messages and money, with photos and scanned documents attached. The app uses the same reference numbers as your spreadsheets and binder, so everything stays connected. One tap turns your entries into a timeline PDF with numbered exhibits for your lawyer. It’s private by design: your data stays on your phone, behind a PIN or Face ID, with a quick-hide button and a safety screen with support contacts. Updates are free.

2. Separation Documentation System (spreadsheet)
Your central record: separation date, under one roof log, pattern log, communications, court dates, witnesses and evidence, with a dashboard that updates itself.

3. Finance & Property Organizer (spreadsheet)
Assets and debts at separation, shared bills and who owes whom, flagged transactions, contributions, and a settlement document checklist.

4. Separated Under One Roof Kit (PDF)
Step-by-step pages to show you’ve separated while still sharing a home, ending with an affidavit preparation worksheet for your lawyer.

5. Court & Legal Toolkit (PDF)
Chronology, exhibit index, orders tracker, hearing and mediation preparation, and a legal costs log.

6. Message Templates (PDF)                                                                                                                              58 calm, ready-to-send messages across 8 situations, from house rules and bills to lawyers, banks and adult children. Built on the BIFF® method.

7. Separation Binder (PDF)
Every log on paper, with the same reference numbers, for when a device isn’t safe or paper is simply easier.

8. Separating Safely and Staying Organised (guide)
Your first 30 days, how to keep records that hold up, money, patterns, communication, tech safety, and looking after yourself.

Why it works

• One numbering system. A withdrawal logged as P-024, its statement saved as D-012. Months later, your chronology line just says “P-024 · D-012.”
• Facts, not feelings. Every page guides you to record dates, amounts and exact words, the kind of record that’s hard to dispute.
• Built for real situations. Separated under one roof, tangled finances, adult children, difficult communication, repeated court action.
• Safety first. Guidance on private storage, a tech-safety checklist, and where to find support.
• Works anywhere. Written for separations in any country, with no country-specific forms or jargon.

Who it’s for
Anyone separating without young children: married or not, still sharing a home or already apart, just starting out or already dealing with lawyers or court.
