Divorce mortgages and financial advice
Old habits?
Some of us are so pleased to get this far on the divorce journey, that we fail to study our financial options and often lapse into old habits. Mistakes we may have made in the past may now come back to haunt us if we are not careful. Perhaps our attitude to pending may have contributed to the breakdown of the marriage or maybe it was your partner's fault. It could be worthwhile revisiting some of these problems.
You may have reached a settlement that you did not want or plan for but there aren't many who leave with a perfect one. Whether you are on your own, with children or with a new partner, some financial planning may not go amiss.
Not coping financially?
It is always worth checking with your solicitor if your circumstances have changed and you are able to claim some financial support from your ex or when payments are not being met by him/her.
