The divorce is final; yet the items on your to-do list are overwhelming enough to make you want to crawl under the covers. For most people, the day after the divorce is just the beginning of the transition process, not the end. The key to maintaining sanity during this overwhelming time is breaking up your financial "To-do" list into manageable “bites”. In this, our first 3 part Mini-Bite Series, Jacki and Melissa break down your post-divorce game plan into things that you should do "NOW", "SOON" and "LATER". Each segment has its own mini episode.
Part Three shares “bites” to do within the first year after your divorce is final. “Bites” include changing your name, estate planning, making QDRO distribution choices and pushing re-set on your financial plan.
