Melonie at Workerette writes from a woman's perspective. But her post about divorce can apply to both men an women. Melonie recommends picking up a copy of the recent travelgirl issue in which one can find an article focusing on financial planning when facing a divorce.

Judging from Melonie's summary, it sounds like the article has some great tips from Certified Financial Planner Mary Claire Allvine:

Allvine discusses pre-planning, such as clarifying goals like getting out of debt, maintaining your standard of living, and figuring out the cold, hard numbers when it comes to cash and other assets (and liabilities). Then she walks you through some steps to financial sleuthing and managing the crisis that is a divorce.

Divorce isn't fun for anyone and can sometimes get pretty ugly. That's why it's important to do your research and contact a divorce attorney when considering this life-altering decision.
