If your ex-partner or spouse works, you may want to move your possessions during a time they are not at home. Schedule your move for a day and time you know they will be at work.
Ensure the movers have at least two hours before your former spouse or partner comes back home. That should give the movers enough time to load your possessions onto the moving truck.
It is not recommended to have the movers arrive when your former partner is at home, especially if the two of you are not on speaking terms at present.
