If I could tell you one thing about how I approach financial advising for individuals who are divorcing, it would be:

Separation and divorce are actions that always involve strong emotions including anger, resentment, guilt, shame, fear and anxiety. The challenge is to work at making decisions with as little emotion as possible. Allowing emotion to dictate your actions in a divorce can sabotage the very objectives you wish to achieve. This is why I recommend working with professionals during this time so you receive non-biased, non-judgmental guidance, helping you avoid the pitfalls of decisions driven primarily by emotion.
