Emotions Feelings And Divorce Financing

By Michael Rogers


Going through a divorce is time consuming and emotionally a total nightmare. Divorce financing is one of those options that come into play especially when trying to sort out things like maintenance and paying for those expenses that were paid for by both spouses. This comes to an abrupt and sudden end when couples find themselves fighting and are not willing to share the expenses of living anymore.

When going through a breakup of this magnitude things can become nasty pretty quickly and the way forward is to sort out finances as quickly as possible. It is a good idea to have an ante nuptial in place before entering in the bond of matrimony. This is advisable so that if anything does go awry with the marriage then documentation is in place that states who and what each spouse is responsible for.

An ante nuptial agreement must be in place before entering the marriage which clearly outlines who gets what in the case of a separation. If it states that it is with accrual, this means that whatever was brought into the marriage must get split usually on a fifty percent basis. This makes things simpler when trying to sort out ownership on items.

It is advisable to have in place a better proposition. This would be an agreement where both spouses keep what inherently belongs to them during the marriage and before entering matrimony. This simplifies matters and all that remains is for a settlement agreement to be worked out.

Even with a solid agreement in place, when emotions run high, it is always difficult to work things out amicably until anger and resentment have subsided. The relationship initially is always acrimonious and this is when it is the most hardest to cooperate with each other. It is best advice, if this is the case, to bring in and include someone with an objective opinion to work out the finer points of the disengagement.

It is a sorry state of affairs when this need arises as this adds to the cost of the settlement. However it is essential that this path be embarked upon especially when a couple is unable to talk to each other in an adult fashion. Drawing up and itemizing a list of inventory is a good step and puts both parties on the path of reconciling as to who will get what.

Usually it is of the best interest of both parties if an anonymous person or better yet an objective person can facilitate the settlement agreement. This can take the form of a mediator that will sit down and crunch the numbers with all those concerned. It is not a good idea to use a family member although ideally this would be the best case scenario if it is so agreed upon.

This will keep the expenses to a minimum and with time all hopefully will get on a better to make the outcome of the separation that much more bearable. It is an emotionally raw and taxing time for both families and the sooner that couples can get along with each other the better as this will curb expenditures in the long run. At best it is better to get along as soon as possible.
