Can I afford a divorce?

In today’s bad economy, some women are asking themselves if they can afford a divorce and become a one-income family.  If you are in a marriage that will not get better, keep in mind that there are ways to minimize the cost of divorce.

No one can answer the question of whether it is a good time for divorce, but you.  Some women want out and will do anything they can to get there, including taking money out of their retirement accounts, borrowing from family or friends, or using their credit cards.  Divorce costs money and there is no getting around that fact.  However, there are ways to keep the costs down and one of them is having few disputes with your spouse.

Sometimes a couple can agree on family issues, but not all the time.  Once discussions begin, the couple realizes they are not in total agreement with each other.  But, if you are one of the lucky ones who can come to an agreement on most everything, you can probably settle out of court.

If you are contemplating divorce but not sure if you can afford it, contacts an experienced Orange County Divorce attorney who will give you a true understanding of the expenses associated with divorce beforehand and allow you to decide if you can afford to go through with it at this time.
