Anger and hurt tend to figure strongly in divorce, hand-in-hand with resentment,
sadness, and fear about your future. And more often than not, these emotional woes
all coalesce under the banner of money. Nolo Press is known for its thorough research
and user-friendly approach to legal matters, and its book on Divorce and Money is up
to its usual high standards of quality. "Think financially.act legally," the folks
at Nolo say, and they explain how to do so, in detailed and practical terms, for joint
accounts and hidden assets, gifts and insurance, alimony and retirement benefits,
marital property and the IRS, net worth and what to do about the house. They also
discuss where to seek professional help, how to keep proper records and assemble
the facts, why the financial issues are so sticky, in what ways you're at risk, and
how to reduce the stress and avoid the bad scenes, when possible. A life-saver of
a reference book for when you're at your most vulnerable and disorganized, Divorce &
Money offers practical and proactive advice to help you protect yourself and safeguard
your financial future.


As financial planners, the authors draw on their years of experience to help you
understand:

* what you own and owe
* how divorce affects you tax-wise
* how best to divide your property, investments, and other assets
* what can happen to your retirement nest egg or your business when you divorce
* what to do about alimony and child support
* how to prepare for negotiating a final settlement, and
* how to gain financial stability in your new life as a single person or single
parent.
