Post-Divorce Settlement: What Comes Next?

I once used this platform to settle my divorce, and I’m curious: what happens after the divorce settlement agreement is signed? Are there any unexpected steps or follow-ups I should prepare for?

Probably you should be thinking of Tax. I would advise you to contact a tax consultant to determine if your income tax withholding rates should change. Remember the rates should adjust based on your marital status. You should also be keen on the child tax credits.

I would first promptly pay off that credit card debt. There’s no way you could ever make more money than the interest on those credit card debts. Then give up utilizing those pointless cards.

After completing that, find an apartment. It will be less expensive in the near future, at the very least, and you should probably take care of your money first. It is not a good idea to try to buy a home with a mortgage of $2800 or more when your monthly income is barely $4,000. Yes, I am purposefully neglecting the alimony because it will only last for three years, and good luck to you if you base your budget on that extended period of time.
