Divorce FAQs
How can I navigate the financial aspects of divorce?
Most couples don’t plan for divorce, but the fact is, one in three marriages in Australia end. It’s a financial stress that most people aren’t prepared for, but when it does happen they want the process dealt with swiftly. There are no winners in a marriage breakdown, but you do need to take the time to set yourself up financially for the future. The last thing you want is to look back in five years’ time and realise you short-changed yourself.
Won’t my legal representation help with the financial aspect?
Your lawyer will help you negotiate a settlement with your ex-partner based on applicable laws. A financial planner will help you understand any settlement in the context of your lifestyle and goals, and how it could impact you today and tomorrow.
At what stage of my divorce should I see a financial planner?
It’s best to seek expert financial advice before your settlement is agreed so that you can approach any legal discussion with a complete understanding of what it will mean in the context of your individual financial and life goals. However, a planner can still help you to reset your goals and plan for your financial future if your settlement has been reached.
