The biggest contributor to the financial stress is the duplication of expenses such as housing and utilities. Not to mention the costs of one person moving, hiring attorneys, etc. But there are ways to minimize the impact on you as you make this transition. Henry Gornbein has come up with 9 ways to make the financial cost less of a problem. Here are the first few:

9.   Find out as much about your financials as possible before you file a divorce, so that there will be no surprises.

8.   Try to find out as much as possible about your job security and if you aren’t employed, see what your options are for employment.

7.   Carefully consider all options, especially whether or not the marriage can be saved.

6.   Think about your house. Does it have a negative equity? Can you afford the payments? Do you want to stay in the house, or leave?

5.   If you have children, think about your children. Can you work with your soon to be former spouse regarding custody and parenting time? What arrangement makes sense for you?
