Get A Divorce You Can Live With

Your first step in the process is to identify your priorities. Begin to recognize the issues that will be at play. If you have children, the care and custody of the children are likely to be substantial factors in your divorce. Even if one parent is willing to concede custody of the children, there without a doubt, will be child related issues in your divorce.

The division of assets is likely to be another key component to any divorce. While the division may be governed by a prenuptial agreement if one exists, it includes dividing major items such as real estate, bank accounts, stocks, pensions, and other retirement plans.

Yes it is a lot to take in, but here is where establishing priorities is critical. You will have to ask yourself some very important questions, like...

Are You concerned more by current cash flow than future savings?

If so, you may want to sacrifice some retirement dollars in a negotiation in order to take more cash today. Or perhaps your main concern is to remain in the home.

In many divorces, the home is the major asset of parties. This means whichever spouse stays in the home is likely going to have to offset keeping that asset by giving the other spouse a larger share of the remaining assets.

Is this a trade off you are comfortable with? Or would you be better off selling the home and dividing the proceeds.
