If you are contemplating a divorce, there are always three things on your mind: how is it going to affect me personally, how is it going to affect me financially and if you have children, how is it going to affect them. All three of these concerns are answered in File Your Own Divorce. First it covers the process of getting a divorce. Court procedures and the necessary filings are discussed with all forms available on a CD-ROM. It takes you through what information you need to gather for your paperwork and how to prepare for the emotional side of being on your own. Secondly, it looks at what a divorce can do to you financially and addresses how to avoid being stuck with your ex-spouse's debt. It discusses if alimony is an option for you, what Social Security benefits are available for a divorced spouse and the tax consequences of ending a relationship.
