Eines Tages kam es zu Thätlichkeiten zwischen [X] und seinem ältesten Sohne und dies hatte zur Folge daß der Vater die Absicht kundgab sich von den Söhnen wirthschaftlich [wirtschaftlich] zu trennen

This is about the separation of a "Hauskommunion" made up of a father, his 3 adults sons (and their families) and his 2 adult daughters, in Bosnia, in the 1890s. I imagine he's talking about giving the sons some minimal (perhaps legally required) portion of land but not farming it and sharing the proceeds/costs together any longer? What is the best English equivalent for "wirtschaftlich" in this context?

(I've ordered a 19th century dissertation on "Hauskommunion" in the Balkans to learn more about what this might mean, but I'm still curious about the English equivalent.)

Many thanks.
