Once the decision has been made to separate, what happens next?


1. Consult a family lawyer

2. Rewrite your future, work out how you want your life to look after the split

A qualified Financial Planner help you during divorce to work out:


  • ✔️ What a solo budget looks like

  • ✔️ What housing you can afford (and if you can keep the family home)

  • ✔️ If there are funding gaps

  • ✔️ Sort out a backup plan (yes this may mean insurance)

  • ✔️ What your FIF (Financial Independence Figure is)

  • ✔️ Help you re-write your future

  • ✔️Look further into the future to your retirement funding


❌ The last thing we want is to see you retain the house only to find out a year or two later you cannot afford it.
