Dissolving a marriage is a time of distraction, as emotional and family concerns take center stage

Dissolving a marriage is a time of distraction, as emotional and family concerns take center stage. Yet, divorce is one of the biggest triggers of bankruptcy in a world where bankruptcy has gotten a lot tougher to file. The Financial Planning Association, Denver, Colo., recommends that anyone filing for divorce seek the help of tax advisors as well as attorneys skilled in settlements, because the financial issues that get pushed to the background eventually can take a surprising and disastrous toll on the newly single individual and his or her children.
