Finding Financial Planning Advice

May 18, 2017 By Patricia Barrett

When going through a divorce perhaps the last thing on someone’s mind is financial planning advice. While there may be more emotional and personal issues on the table, this is definitely one area that cannot be ignored. It is important to be able to see the entire picture of what the future will look like once the divorce is over, plus it is equally as important to know what assets there are and how much they are worth. Crucial decisions about the future are made when divorce papers are drawn up, and being informed will go a long way in making sure that both parties have everything in order for the long term as well as the present.

There are many areas where financial planning advice is necessary, such as https://www.lifetimeplanning.cc/divorce-financial-planning/alimony, child support, executive benefit plans, bank accounts, homes and other assets that may be involved in the divorce. A financial planner with a background in these types of financial issues is the best person to turn to for the proper guidance in such matters. They will have experience as well as training in this area and be able to counsel the parties in these types of monetary matters.

When going through a divorce, sometimes the future isn’t always the focus. Many people are still reeling from the pain and trauma of actually ending a relationship. However, there must be a thought process going forward about how to conduct life on a daily basis once the divorce is final. Many times a lot of the assets that are held in a marriage are in both parties’ names. This is something that will have to be resolved as well. Bank accounts, deeds, titles, insurances and other types of formalities that will have to be reconciled into one or the other’s name will also need attention.

Financial planning advice from an expert in divorce can also take care of some things that are far into the future, such as college tuition for minor children born during the marriage.

Financial planning advice will be something that will come in handy when it comes down to deciding who pays the mortgage, the car payments and the monthly bills.

This is a time in a person’s life that may not be the happiest, but with a little thought and a lot of hard work the future can be bright and promising.
