Separated, but working together challenge - help!

Business owners.. need to act businesslike.
and keep "business hours".

if she was someone you did not know, other than have a "business relationship" with.. how would you handle it?

The first thing that comes to my own mind, would be to set up fixed meeting times, for "business matters", either once or twice a week. (for one hour, or shorter if all business matters have been dealt with. But you BOTH have to agree to end it early.)

That way, things may not get discussed "right away".. but at least you can have the certainty that they will be discussed.

That is a professional, business level method of handling it, i think. I'm sure there are others, too.
