My wife & I share an account but are separating, I would like to create a new separate account but am afraid I’ll lose contacts, photos etc if I do.
Is it possible to do this without losing everything & if so how do I do this?

Hi on your iPhone when you log out from iCloud it will ask if you to keep your stuff on your iPhone select that option then log in with the new Apple ID and when your iPhone it’s plugged with the charger and connected to the wifi it will make a backup ti iCloud just make sure that all options in iCloud settings on your iPhone are ON

When changing to the new ID, there may be some data loss, but you can minimize it. If syncing photos with iCloud, ensure Optimization is turned off in Settings/Your Name/iCloud/Photos and/or in Photos/Preferences/iCloud. Then make sure full resolution photos are on the device/computer. When signing out of iCloud, if asked whether you want to retain data, choose yes. Messages conversations will be lost if they are addressed to the ID. See the article below for other places that the old ID should be removed. See Winston Churchill's response in the below discussion.
