I do. I don’t.  I do, until I can’t anymore, then I DIVORCE! No, you don’t marry to get divorced.  Unfortunately, it remains a fact of life.  If you do find yourself in the midst of a divorce, please be sure to check out these tips, so you won’t make some of these crucial mistakes.

When you took those vows 10, 20, 30 years ago you never dreamed it would come to this. You are now getting divorced and you feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you. All the plans you made for your future must now be rewritten. Your life is about to change and you have no idea how to even begin the process of divorce.

First, take heart. You are not alone, although it may feel that way. Over fifty percent of all first marriages end in divorce…so you are in the majority! (But seriously)

Second, take a deep breath and gather your thoughts. Try to put your emotions aside and think financially. Someone once said, “Marriage is all about love and divorce is all about money” and I couldn’t agree more. Therefore your focus should now be about securing your (and your children’s) financial future.

So don’t throw up your arms and surrender just to get this over with. Instead, arm yourself. Understanding the following information could significantly increase your chances for a financially secure life, both now and in the future.
