Your Divorce, Your Money, and Your Financial Future

 

The decision has been made. Your marriage is coming to an end and your divorce is in the works. Now, perhaps more than at any other time in your life, you need to think clearly about money and your financial future. You will be making decisions that will affect the quality of your lifestyle for the rest of your life.

     ♦      Who, if anyone, should keep the house?

     ♦      Is an equal division of property the same thing as a fair division?

♦      How long, if at all, should alimony be paid?

These and many other financial questions are integral parts of any divorce settlement. Yet what is missing in most divorces is financial expertise. An attorney can help you understand your legal rights and opportunities. A therapist can help you understand your emotions and move on to the next phase of your life. But only a Certified Divorce Planner can help you evaluate and plan for the short and long-term financial consequences of getting divorced.

Be sure to look at our discussion of 13 Mistakes Not to Make, to help you recognize some of the pitfalls of a poor divorce settlement, and to teach you what to look out for in your divorce financial planning.
