It is a sad fact that marriages simply do not last any longer. There are many reasons for this, but the pressures of modern life and the changes in the attitudes of society about divorces certainly contribute to this phenomenon. Some things have not changed, however. Divorcing is still an emotional experience and the process can be extremely expensive, especially if the separation is acrimonious. In such cases couples are sometimes forced to find divorce financing to pay all the costs involved.

Even very wealthy couples will find that divorcing generally leaves them much poorer than before. In most cases it will be necessary to hire expensive lawyers that charges by the minute. Time spent in court can be horrendously expensive. It is also often necessary to liquidate assets and this can involve steep penalties and service fees, especially when market conditions are not ideal.

There is a lot that divorcing couples can do to lessen the financial impact of separating. In uncontested divorced, the partners involved can privately reach agreement on most issues such as custody, maintenance and the way in which their assets will be divided. This can only be achieved if both partners are reasonable and willing to give and take. In such cases the only task of the lawyer is to draw up the final agreement.

The expenses truly heap up in contested cases. Each partner will have to hire a separate lawyer and the lawyers negotiate on behalf of their clients. This can be a drawn out process and the clients will pay for every minute spent on their cases. The cost will escalate dramatically when the case goes to court. Contested divorces also means that the entire matter is in the public domain.

Couples that find that they do not have the money necessary to finance their divorces may have to resort to applying for loans specially meant for this purpose. There are numerous financiers that will finance divorces, but they charge hefty service fees and their terms and conditions can be very strict. In fact, such financing can easily leave both partners financially crippled.

If money is needed to pay for a separation it may be better to rather sells some assets to negotiate a loan from a pension fund or against a fixed deposit. Shares can be sold quickly. Many couples owe luxury items that will not be needed to maintain a reasonable standard of living. These remedies will almost always be much cheaper than opting for a loan.

Many couples enter into prenuptial agreements before they get married. Such agreements can also help to lessen the cost of divorces because most of the main areas that are normally contested will already be decided contractually. It is also possible to purchase special insurance that is designed to cover the legal cost of both partners during their marriage. This often include the cost of divorcing.

Divorcing can certainly be a traumatic and emotional experience. Sensible couples will realize, however, that there is no need to cripple both partners financially in the process. Much money can be saved by negotiating in good faith and by being reasonable. A therapist can help couples overcome their negative feelings and to act sensibly.
