Divorce Financing For Quick And Easy Separations

By Elizabeth Davis


When you walked down the aisle you were living a dream that you never thought would end. You thought that divorce attorneys were for other people and that your marriage was perfect. But, a large proportion of marriage end, some very soon after the ceremony. But deciding to end a marriage is expensive. There will be assets to divide up and custody battles. Thankfully there are divorce financing options available that will help with the overall cost.

Getting a divorce is expensive, whichever you look at it. How much yours will cost will depend on a lot of variables. Your marriage annulment may cost a few hundred dollars or many thousands. But, what's for sure is that you will need the services of an attorney. The average cost for divorcing your spouse in the U. S is a mouth watering fifteen thousand pounds.

So why is the whole process so expensive. Well the truth is that the process is complex and you will need time off work and to pay for mediators, financial planners, accountants, custody attorneys, and a lot more. The less ties and connections you have with your spouse, the cheaper the whole thing will be.

So let us take a look at a typical situation and break down the costs. Borrowing money won't actually be difficult, if you have a good credit report. It is as simple as applying for a short term loan for school fees or for a vacation.

The best way to keep the costs down is to agree on everything. This includes the distribution of assets and custody issues. If you are still on speaking terms with your spouse you can even draw up your own agreement to bring to a lawyer. This however is not so common, and arguments start and things get bitter without a mediator to help.

It is most likely that you won't agree on everything and that you will need to hire an attorney for custody or asset issues. Out of court settlements are a lot cheaper, but they are not very common at all. When you cannot agree on finances and custody you will need accountants, a professional to value your home, and many more services. Each extra service you require will add money to the final cost of your divorce.

Getting a divorce is not just about spending money. You will also lose money on earnings and sometimes on the sale of a property or other assets. If an agreement cannot be reached over your property than it will be sold, often for a loss due to the necessity for a quick sale. Then there are the costs of finding a new home to buy or rent and furnish that need to be taken into consideration.

Child care costs will go up when you separate. Your partner will no longer be available as a free babysitter while you work. You must decide who the children will live with and who will pay for childminders. Having access to finance can really help. Taking out a loan should not cause you any problems, just as long as you have a good credit history. Do not put off your separation as you'll need to deal with it at some point, and finance solutions are available today.
