Get Informed From the Start

If you are at the beginning of a divorce, or even if you’re just contemplating a divorce, it’s a good idea to inform yourself about your financial situation. What are your joint assets? How much debt do you each have? What do you spend every month? Are you saving enough for retirement, or college, or other goals? The idea is not to dissuade you from a divorce if that is the right decision for you, but to empower you to make good financial decisions related to a split. Perhaps you’ll find that you’d need to increase your income if you were to divorce or that the home you are in is expensive to maintain. Having a clear picture of your financial circumstances will help you make better decisions for the future. With the help of a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst®, you will have the information you need.
