Divorce isn't just emotionally difficult... it can be financially overwhelming if you're not prepared. If you're considering a divorce, Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy break down three major costs people often underestimate: ⚖️ Legal Fees The average divorce costs $15,000–$20,000, but contested cases can exceed $100,000. Planning ahead can make a big difference. 🏠 Cost of Living Going from one household to two can significantly increase expenses, often requiring tough lifestyle adjustments. 📈 Professional Development After divorce, many women see their income drop by around 20%, making it critical to reassess earning potential and career opportunities. The bottom line: Preparation is power. Understanding these costs now can help you protect your financial future later.
