Money and divorce

Divorce is among the most expensive things that can happen to a household — not only because legal separation has costs, but because the economic unit that was organized around shared resources and shared expenses must now support two lives on the same income. The financial reckoning that accompanies the end of a marriage is often more clarifying than the marriage itself, and it arrives at the worst possible time. Understanding the structure before it dissolves is considerably cheaper.
