Separate your digital life, one system at a time.
A marriage usually means years of shared logins, family plans and devices that know where everyone is. This checklist helps you take back control of what is yours, without breaking anything that belongs to both of you or to your children.
Do not access your spouse's accounts. Logging in to your spouse's email, phone, cloud storage or social media without permission can be illegal, even if you know the password or used to share it. Do not install monitoring apps, read their messages, or guess their passwords. It can also hurt your case. If you need records from your spouse, your lawyer can ask for them through the formal disclosure and discovery process.
Preserve, do not delete. Keep messages, posts, photos and files that may relate to the case. Securing your accounts is different from erasing history. Ask your lawyer before deleting anything.
If you are in danger, call 911. Safety planning comes before account changes, because sudden changes can alert someone who is watching your devices.

This checklist is practical, not technical. It does not cover forensic work, and it does not suggest getting into anyone else's devices. If you believe your own devices have been compromised, tell your lawyer.
