Managing the financial aspects of a divorce may be just as important as coping with the emotions. These resources can help you transition from "ours" to "mine" and "yours."
Keep in mind:
  • Cancel joint checking, savings and revolving credit accounts like credit cards
  • Establish accounts in your name for ATMs, checking, savings and credit cards
  • Update the beneficiaries of your retirement accounts and insurance policies
