You can call whenever you're ready, or not at all.
what to say first
“Hi, I've separated and I'm worried about debts, including some that may be in joint names.”

two questions you might ask
- Which debts should I deal with first?
- Am I responsible for debts in joint names?
After the call: if it feels safe, write down one thing you learned, somewhere private.
