Dissipation Of Assets In Divorce

December 6, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

Sometimes, when divorcing spouses start talking about how they’re going to divide assets, the relationship sours even more, and what were once “just” un-pleasantries can cross the line into outright ugliness. Now and then, it’s as though people take leave of their senses, and they let spite drive every decision.

The Five Top Reasons To Choose A Lump Sum Over Periodic Alimony

November 9, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

As part of your divorce settlement, you may stand to receive some form of spousal support, and traditional alimony—regular payments made according to a mutually agreed upon schedule—is the most familiar type. However, now that alimony “reform” measures are being passed across the nation, divorcing women who are seeking alimony have legitimate reasons for concern. Why? Because the legal trend is toward severely limiting the duration of alimony, or even eliminating it altogether.

What Are The Divorce Laws Where You Live?

October 17, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

Most couples don’t consider a state’s divorce laws when they’re deciding where to live or buy a house. Statistically speaking, though, about half of those couples will be profoundly affected by the very regulations they’re choosing to ignore.

Almost every part of the divorce process is regulated, and every state has its own laws, making for many potential variations. If you are divorcing in New York, for example, your experience might be vastly different from those of your friends in Connecticut and New Jersey – even though you all live close enough to one another to meet weekly for lunch!

To Do List For Women Who Earn More Than Their Husbands

September 21, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

Many married women now have substantial incomes and assets of their own, possibly even much more than their husbands. Of course, that wasn’t always the case. In 1970, wives earned just 52% of what their husbands did, on average. Today, that number has risen to 78%. Granted, it’s still a long way from equality but clearly, there has been progress.

Do you have a greater income or higher net worth than your husband? If so, and you’re considering divorce, please make sure that you:

In The Dark About Retirement – A Common And Troubling Problem For Divorcing Women

July 11, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

Take a moment to imagine how an “ideal” marriage—setting aside for a moment that there is likely no such thing—would function in terms of finances. What do you see? I’m envisioning a true partnership, built on mutual respect and maintained with frequent, open communication. Each spouse would be fully aware of and equally able to manage all aspects of the marital finances. Neither would feel anxious, uninformed, or left out. In this marriage, money would not be a source of anger, mistrust, or resentment. Husband and wife would function as a team with common goals, including a financially healthy retirement.

Don’t Be Blindsided: Even Happily Married Women Need To Watch For Crazy Financial Curveballs

May 26, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

“The checking account is empty, the savings account is empty. His closet is empty!”

“For years, he had me believing he just has a low libido. Turns out, he’s been having affairs all along—and buying his girlfriends lots of jewelry, too.”

“I thought we owned homes in Palm Beach and Nantucket together. Now I know he never put my name on those deeds—then he sold the properties for millions. Where is that money?”

“He wants a divorce? I knew things weren’t perfect but I never thought he wanted out!”

April 25, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

What would you like to have in common with Gwen Stefani, Sienna Miller, Jennifer Garner, or Uma Thurman? Fame, fortune, talent, beauty, and professional success, sure!

February 9, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

It’s tax season. Time to gather your financial documents, visit the accountant, sign on the dotted line, and submit your income tax return to the Internal Revenue Service. For many, the process can be frustrating, as the tax code seems to get increasingly complex each year. A pending divorce can complicate matters even more.

If you’re in the process of divorcing –or even thinking that you might be soon –you need to answer this critical question: Is it in your best financial interest to file a joint tax return with your husband?

Women – Planning To Divorce In 2016? Use This Checklist To Prepare

January 8, 2016 by Jeffrey A. Landers

Janet and Bill had some happy years together – until she learned of his infidelities. Since then, she’s been trying to make the best of it, for the children’s sake.

It’s time to end the marriage and move on with her life, and she’s going to do just that – now that the holidays have come and gone. Breaking the news to family over gatherings for Thanksgiving, Chanukah and Christmas felt wrong, and by contrast, January seems to be a perfect fit – New Year, new life.
