Financial considerations when getting divorced

Financial Divorce Planning

Financial Considerations When Getting Divorced

Joint finances may not be top-of-mind when going through a life-changing event but at some point, they will need to be addressed. We can help with support and guidance.

Checklist

What to know and what to do

It’s not unusual to avoid certain topics during an emotionally-charged time such as a divorce but avoidance could end up being very costly, especially when there are attorneys and court fees involved. Consider these aspects when consciously uncoupling your joint financial life:

  • What is the state of your and your spouse/partner’s finances? How much do you have and what do you owe?
  • What is your spouse/partner’s perspective regarding assets or liabilities that aren’t cleanly divided?
  • What are the laws in your state for divorce? How does a legally recognized marriage differ from a long-term relationship? Are there different laws for same-sex marriages?
  • Is there an expectation of alimony?
  • Are there children? Do they have savings accounts where you and your spouse/partner are jointly listed? Will there be child support?

Try to have calm, unemotional discussions about finances. It may not be easy but can have a huge positive effect.

Plan a short- and long-term budget. (Be sure to account for things like alimony, child support, emergencies, etc.)

Consider any potential tax implications

Update the appropriate information on all your accounts and other legal documents

Set realistic long-term goals that can focus your energy on positive growth but don’t deny yourself some dreams – give yourself the gift of “why not?”

Benefits of personal loans
Most of you have credit cards and enjoy this convenience when making everyday purchases. However, there are a couple of drawbacks: 1) a variable interest rate and 2) the length of time it will take to pay off the balance if you decide to make just the minimum payment. If you are planning to buy […]
