No matter how commonplace divorce has become, it is an emotionally difficult process for everyone involved. Equitably dividing assets after years of marriage and planning for a new financial future for each should be considered carefully and not under duress. This is a time when the divorcing couple may be experiencing the highest level of stress they have ever known while focusing on many important issues such and work outside of the home, children and very busy schedules at the same time.
As a result of duress, sound financial analysis and settlement decisions for a post-divorce financial future (when not thinking clearly) will produce the realistic consequence of making poor decisions in regard to money. You can get through the emotional and legal part of divorce, but you will have to live with the financial component that you agree to.
