Heat the milk gently over medium-low heat to prevent the dairy from curdling.
Starches like flour or cornstarch help stabilize the milk emulsion.
A common technique is to thicken your sauce or soup with roux before adding the milk.
To counteract the effect of the acid, you can use a starch along with the acid.
Temper the milk by whisking small amounts of the hot liquid into the cold milk.
When the milk is warm, then add it to the hot liquid.
Another option is to heat the milk gently in a saucepan before adding it.
Dairy products with higher fat content, such as whipping cream and heavy cream, are less prone to curdling.
For that same reason, 2% milk is more likely to curdle than whole milk.
Add the salt at the end, rather than cooking or reducing it with the salt already in it.

If you're making a sauce that isn't supposed to curdle, and it does, you throw it out and start over. Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the curdled sauce, wisk gently, and repeat until sauce is smoothed out. Re-season and serve promptly. I added a bunch of Quinoa, and let that cook. The quinoa soaked up the oil, it made everything look much better, it tasted great.

If a dairy-based sauce curdles, immediately halt the cooking process. Take your pan off the heat and place it in an ice bath. If the clumps are relatively few, you can pour the whole sauce through a sieve. Whisk the strained sauce vigorously to break up any tiny remaining lumps. Proteins are more likely to bond with each other when there are a lot of similar molecules in a small space, so one way to discourage their fraternization is to introduce some different molecules, such as starch or fat. So make a roux and slowly whisk in the curdled sauce, or heat a hefty splash of full-fat milk or cream in a saucepan and add it to the pan.
