When two people divorce or separate the money issues they struggled with in their marriage are presented to be resolved. Ironically I have seen couples inclined to reconcile after they come to agreement about the money issues in their relationship. Whatever the outcome of how you relate to each other, separating is often a growthful time for people in the way they relate to their finances.
     The first step is to prepare simple income and balance sheets of your financial life. What income comes in and how will you use it in creating your new living arrangements? What adjustments will you have to make due to your separating? What are the assets and liabilities and who's name are they in? For many these are tedious tasks but they become the foundation of truth that you build upon. So it is important to be completely forthright with your spouse and yourself in these matters. For a good set of Work Sheets to get organized go to nolotech.
