Getting divorced
Getting divorced can have a huge economic strain on the individuals and families involved and can end up being an incredibly lengthy and expensive process. However, there are things that can be done to save yourself and your spouse money. Have a look at some tips and resources below that will help you keep the costs down.
Top Tips
- If you previously left it to your other half to look after the finances, make sure you start to take control now that you’ll be looking after money matters for yourself. If you need advice or have any questions don’t be afraid to ask.
- Be sure to carefully plan your budgets; now it’s just you you’ll be able to take more control of what you’re spending your money on so make sure you plan for all the things you want to do.
- Make sure you check the finer details of everything you are paying for – if you pay council tax, make sure you are getting the right concessions if you’re now living alone.
- As well as getting the right emotional support at this time it’s important to get the right financial support to know what you’re entitled to in divorce proceedings. Speak to a solicitor or your local Citizens Advice Bureau.
