REMAINING UNEMPLOYED
If you’re currently not working, try to get a job (ideally one with health insurance), advises Joseph Davis, a certified divorce financial analyst and owner of the website Fit Divorce Planning. (This won’t be a concern for the lucky few who can expect to be self-sufficient for the rest of their lives, of course.)
‘If you are working, look for ways to advance in your career or increase your income since it’s not uncommon for a divorcing individual to need at least a 30 percent increase in income just to maintain his or her standard of living.’
