How do you pay for all the costs of separation and divorce? It's not something people talk about much. But it can be a big source of stress at an already stressful time.

We chat with Leigh McBean, Head of Legal Finance at Plenti, about people's options:

• What people need to pay for when separating
• Common ways people fund their separation, including legal fees
• The risks of settling too early
• Legal loans for family law matters: how they work and typical customers
