Keeping the Expenses of Divorce in Check

When people talk about the expense of divorce, they are referring not only to support payments and legal fees. Sure, those are contributing factors but there are many other, often overlooked, issues that can add to the expense of your divorce.

In an article for U.S. News & World Report titled “How You’re Making Your Divorce More Expensive,” Geoff Williams reveals other ways couples unwittingly add to the costs of their divorce. In the article, Mr. Williams explains how such things as forgetting about the tax impact, underestimating the expense of keeping the house, spending emotionally, overcompensating for the children, and even trying to “stick it to” your ex can add to your bottom line.
