One of the biggest adjustments that most people have to make during a divorce is a financial one. You suddenly have to manage a household on your own with less income. You may also be struggling to pay off debts -- and pay for your divorce.
Learning new ways to save money during your divorce can be just as important as finding ways to cope emotionally. With that in mind, here are some practical suggestions:

Almost everyone -- at some point during their divorce -- wonders about the mental health of their spouse. When a child's involved, however, and your questions about your spouse's mental health are serious, it may be necessary to ask the court to order a psychological evaluation.
Before you act, here are the things you need to consider:
Domestic violence is a problem all year long, but it can be even more intense during the holiday season. More than half of all Californians -- 58 percent -- have been touched by domestic violence at some point in their lives. That's why organizations like Blue Shield of California and others are hoping that individual communities will help address the underlying problems that lead to intimate partner violence.

One of the consequences of relocating after a divorce is the problems you can face getting a child back and forth for visitation when the other parent lives hours away. Fortunately, the airlines are well-aware that many children will be flying solo -- especially during the upcoming holiday season.
Here are some of the most important things you need to know in advance -- before you book your child's holiday flight:

Unfortunately, your spouse may be determined to send you on a treasure hunt, forcing you to hunt down the assets that he or she has hidden away. If you believe that your spouse (or ex-spouse) is concealing money so that he or she can avoid sharing them or paying adequate support, what can you do?
Even though same-sex marriages are now legal throughout the United States, it's important for couples to discuss their finances early in a relationship. You don't want unpleasant financial surprises to put a damper on your relationship shortly after you move in together or get married because that can easily lead to a split.
Here are some questions that every same-sex couple should ask each other as soon as the relationship starts to get serious:
It's normal to be emotional when you're going through a divorce -- and that makes it hard to keep your mind on practical concerns. However, paying attention to certain practical issues will make your post-divorce recovery a lot easier to manage.
