Solutions And Tips For 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.

It is best to sort out finances as quickly as possible as this kind of situation does get ugly when both parties are feeling hurt and angry with each other. Before getting married, it is best to have an agreement in place such as ante nuptial to make things easier in the advent of a split up. This document comes into play when separation is imminent and makes the process of splitting up that more smoother.

Having an ante nuptial in place simplifies the duties of both spouses when it comes to financial duties. Should it state with accrual, this can make things complicated as one would have to take stock of what was bought during the marriage and an account made of this. With accrual is usually half and half and each person gets fifty percent of the value of what was bought during the marriage.

An even better arrangement would stipulate without accrual which means that whatever was brought into the marriage with regard to possessions, remains the sole property of that person who bought it. This simplifies the settlement agreement where each party cannot claim ownership of items not purchased by them. It is a messy affair as most usually, receipts are not kept whilst the marriage is going smoothly.

At the best of times, even with an ante nuptial in place, spouses are hard done by in working it out in a fair way. Both have become acrimonious in their relationship with each other as fights break up and are unwilling to work together in a harmonious way. Unfortunately, a third party has to be brought into the equation and this takes the form of a divorce attorney.

Unfortunately this means bringing an added expense into the equation especially when the objective party is a mediator or divorce attorney. It is therefore sometimes opportune to bring in a family member or friend of both parties to work together in a achieving a fair and unbiased settlement agreement. To do this, one should itemize all the various items that were bought over the length of the marriage and distribute them according to who bought 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.

It is a time to take stock of life and to see where it is one fits in. Financial help is a call away at times like these. If at all possible, one should minimize expenses and seek for an agreeable outcome.
