Getting a divorce can affect one's financial plan and requires that one reevaluate their financial planning for the future. Under North Carolina law, spouses must divide their marital assets equitably, and while this does not always mean equally, that is often the result.
When going through a divorce parties must think about how their actions could affect their credit score, and how they can limit any potential damage.
After a divorce, most individuals have to adjust to living alone again after living with a spouse. This can be a drastic change for anyone, in addition to the other stressful aspects of a divorce.
Upon separation and divorce, people commonly face a wide range of emotions and one of the most common emotions that recently separated and divorced individuals deal with is loneliness. Here are some tips to help individuals work through the loneliness they might feel:
After a divorce, the whole family has to grow accustomed to the child custody arrangement. You might share custody with your spouse, but that does not necessarily mean you have exactly the same amount of time.
What happens when years after your agreed upon custody schedule has been in place, and your teenager says they want to live with the other parent – your ex-spouse? This is a common occurrence in divorced families, but hearing this can be incredibly emotional and stressful for parents.
Money can be one of the biggest concerns in any divorce. Regardless of how long the marriage is, couples often combine their assets during their marriage, and dividing these marital assets in a divorce can be both a challenge and a significant point of stress.
One of the largest stressors in any divorce is determining how to financially transition from one household to two separate, independent households.

This can be an overwhelming reality to face in the midst of the emotions associated with the transition. Therefore, it is important to have a plan and be realistic with your expectations for finances during the divorce process.

Then, the unimaginable happens - layoffs at work. Individuals in this tough situation face more uncertainty and stress than they did before, and many of them wonder: what happens next?
A divorce can involve a wide range of complicated emotions. Individuals often experience anger or grief when they think about the past, and anxiety when they think about the future after the divorce, but one of the most common emotions that spouses feel when they pursue a divorce is guilt.
It is so common that the term "divorce guilt" has become a well-known term and a frequent issue divorcing spouses face.
