How to Get Financially Organized During Divorce - A Guide for All Women




Divorce can be one of the most stressful events in a woman's life. The emotional turmoil of separating from a partner is never easy, but when it comes to finances, things can get especially daunting. However, getting financially organized during divorce can make this process less distressing and more manageable. In this blog, as a Certified Divorce Coach and Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, I will provide women with a guide on how to get financially organized during divorce.


Mandatory disclosure is an important aspect of the discovery process for divorce. It requires both parties to disclose all their income, expenses, assets, and liabilities. This declaration is essential in determining how assets will be divided between the two parties. The first step in getting organized is to collect all financial documents, such as tax returns, bank statements, investment portfolios, credit card statements, etc. You will need to gather documents from both yours and your partner's accounts. Filing these documents in a particular order can help you stay organized during this hectic process. A bankers box is a helpful filing system to store all these documents and to keep them secure in one place.


Understandably, many people find financial tasks financially overwhelming during a divorce. Here are four steps you can take to overcome this challenging phase:


Know Your Financial Situation:

The first step towards financial organization is to understand your current financial position. Make sure you are aware of all the accounts in your name and in your child's name. This awareness will help you determine your future financial needs.


Set Financial Goals:

Once you have a clear understanding of your financial situation, it's time to start setting some financial goals. These goals can be small or large, depending on your priorities and the resources available. Examples of goals are: determining your asset/property division, determining your income needs to support your future expenses, etc.


Budgeting:

The next step to take is to create a comprehensive budget. Your budgeting period will depend on your monthly income and budget needs. Look at the expenses you currently have and draw up a realistic budget that will work for you during and after the divorce process. Creating a budget will also help you effectively plan for your future, set financial goals, and maintain financial stability.


Seek Professional Advice:

Going through a divorce can leave women feeling emotionally and financially drained. Seeking advice from a financial professional, such as a Certified Divorce Financial Analyst or a Certified Divorce Coach, can provide you with expert guidance and support. A Certified Divorce Financial A Coach can help you identify tax-friendly strategies, provide you with investment advice, minimize hidden costs, and help ensure that the asset division is in your best interest. A Certified Divorce Coach, on the other hand, can offer emotional support and guidance during the divorce process.


Getting financially organized during a divorce is a crucial step towards peace of mind and financial stability. Following the above steps will help women plan for their financial future, set financial goals, and maintain a focus on improving their current financial situation. Remember to stay disciplined, remain patient, and seek professional assistance where necessary. With diligence and perseverance, you will be able to come out of your divorce stronger, both financially and emotionally.
