Separating two lives means untangling dozens of accounts, bills and bits of paperwork. Start with the checklist below. Untangle, coming soon, will turn it into a shared to-do list with who's handling each task and a nudge when something's due.

Accounts, bills and paperwork to separate

By Just Divvy · Updated · How we write our guides

Go through each group, note who will handle each item, and tick it off when it's done or doesn't apply.

Your ticks are saved in this browser only. Nothing is sent to us.

Ask your attorney or mediator first

  • Can I close or change our joint accounts and cards now, or should I wait?
  • Can I change insurance coverage or beneficiaries now?

Banking and cards

Household bills

Car

Subscriptions and online accounts

Insurance and benefits

Mail, addresses and records

  • Online at moversguide.usps.com, the official USPS form.

Once the accounts are sorted, the often-missed checklist and the asset and debt spreadsheet help you list what you own and owe.

What Untangle will do

One list of everything to sort out.

Untangle, coming soon, will turn the checklist above into a shared to-do list: who's handling each task, when it's due, and what's done.

  • Ready-made checklists

    Start from lists of what usually needs changing: bank and card accounts, utilities and subscriptions, insurance, retirement paperwork, taxes and mail.

  • Who's doing what

    Give each task to you or the other person, or leave it unassigned. Everyone can see what's done and what's still open.

  • Reminders and an export

    Set a due date and get a gentle nudge. When you're done, export the list for your records.

We'll email you when it's ready. Privacy
