Surviving Divorce - How Not To Come Financially Unglued During The Great Divide

When a marriage doesn't work, and one or both partners are ready to split, the solution may be divorce. Divorce can mean heartache and disappointment, and a serious case of financial upset. It's important to understand how your financial picture will be altered by divorce, since the terms you agree to during the dissolution of your marriage will have an impact on your finances for the rest of your life.

We know it's easier said than done, but try to look at your divorce as the end of a partnership rather than the end of a romance. If you can keep your emotions in check, you will be better equipped to handle all the messy details. You'll come out slightly more intact if you can treat the settlement like a business transaction.

We've got stuff here to help you get through the divorce from a financial standpoint. It might be stuff you haven't thought about. It is probably stuff you don't want to think about. You can take it or leave it, but then don't blame us when your divorce is final and you realize you should have found out what a QDRO is.
