Going through a divorce can be a very difficult and stressful experience. Whatever the reasons for the divorce, you're likely overwhelmed with emotions and the desire to move on as quickly as possible. Even so, you have some important decisions to make in regards to your finances, so you need to be careful and plan appropriately.

Also watch your credit report carefully. After I left with my kids my estranged husband stole my identity and forged my name on a quitclaim deed and took my house, used my SS for credit cards in my name and he also used my minor son’s SS to get cards in his name. He took out a mortgage in my name before forging the quitclaim, and also after he removed me from the house took out a HUGE mortgage on the house in his name only. The house is now useless to me although as a way to stay out of jail he offered to put me back on the house now! NOT! Moron. Next month he is scheduled in Superior Court for sentencing for 15 counts of fraud, theft, larceny, forgery, insurance fraud and other various things. I put the case together and the DA prosecuted to a guilty finding!
How did I find out in the first place?
I ordered a copy of my credit report and saw the mortgage and credit cards.
Financial plans usually encompass life events like disability, loss of a job, retirement or starting your own business. Divorce, however, usually comes as a surprise. Most people don’t plan for it, yet a third to a half of marriages will end in divorce.
