Recovering from Divorce

A midlife divorce brings fears of financial uncertainty.

After three children and more than 20 years of marriage, divorcing at age 50 was the last thing Angela expected. She had recently reentered the workforce and was enjoying the improved lifestyle that dual incomes made possible. Now she’s heartbroken and wondering if she can even afford to keep the family home.

Angela has never managed the family’s assets. She feels terrified at suddenly having so many things to consider. She knows she has to protect herself and her children financially, but where should she start? It’s hard for her not to feel completely overwhelmed.
