PLANNING FOR A DIVORCE AND THEN YOUR NEXT CHAPTER
More than half of marriages in Australia fail. Separation can be extremely stressful and can be a time when uncertainty and anxiety around your children and your well being. Furthermore, divorce can result in substantial financial uncertainty during the separation period and beyond.
Even if you and your spouse have divided your assets, there are still several variables to be considered:
- Changes in levels and sources of income
- Increased costs of living
- Need to provide spouse maintenance payments or child support payments
- Providing for your children (if you have them)
- The legal consequences of a divorce
