Divorce may be considered an ending, but it is also a beginning - the beginning of your new life as a divorced person. During the process of your divorce, your attorney should assist you in putting together a plan for your life.
These are the questions you should ask yourself during the divorce process:
- Have you put together a budget?
- Do you have a financial plan in place?
- Do you have a plan regarding how to pay off debt?
- Do you have a plan for retirement?
- If you are receiving retirement benefits from a spouse, do you know what to do legally to obtain them? How to invest these assets?
- Do you know how you will file your taxes after the divorce?
- What medical insurance will you have?
- Does your spouse have life insurance to secure child support or pension benefits?
- What kind of parenting agreement is in place? Are there provisions for when the children get older? Are holidays, vacation and/or relocation issues addressed?
It is crucial to ask these important questions and to have professionals in place to give you the benefit of their expertise on these issues.
