Do you ‘part from' or ‘part with' someone?

(Deekshita, Dibrugarh)

It is possible to use both. When you ‘part from someone', you take leave of the individual.

*I think the time has come for you to part from him.

When you ‘part with' someone or something, you let go of them.

*Ram's new landlord didn't allow pets. Since he wasn't willing to part with the dog, Ram moved to another place.
