Divorce Planning for Women
Close to 50% of marriages end in divorce and over two-thirds of them are filed by the wife. Women have to think about many more different issues planning for their futures than men do, especially if they are the ones who end up being the primary care taker of the children. If you are contemplating on divorce you may ask yourself,
“How am I ever going to be able to take care of the kids, the house and work all at the same time? At least if I stay married, I would be getting a little bit of help. How in the world am I going to do it alone?”
Let me help you work through these difficult questions. There are many things that can be done ahead of time to secure your financial well being before you and your husband actually split up the household and finances.
Women tend to be emotional attached to assets in the marriage, such as the house. They are willing to trade off their husbands pension in order to keep the house, because they want to stay in the marital home. Yes, a house is an asset, but it’s not going to make you any money until you sell it. This is just one example of how emotions can play a damaging role in your divorce.
