WAITING TO SEPARATE FINANCES
As soon as possible, split up the joint bank accounts, change your passwords, and do whatever else needs to be done to get out of each other’s financial lives, advises Rebecca Zung, Esq., a marital and family law attorney who also offers her services as a divorce transformation strategist (helping people get through divorce and create new lives).
Then be sure to check your credit report periodically to make sure there’s nothing unexpected. (Remember: Your ex has your social security number and knows your mother’s maiden name).
