It seems cruel that amid all the emotional struggles a divorce brings with it, money has to be such a tremendous burden and source of added anxiety. Divorces have many costs, some more tangible than others. This is an article about the tangible toll that a failed marriage has and tips on what to expect and how to cope.
From the reallocation of property and debt to child support to taxes to retirement planning, there are a slew of financial issues that are intertwined with most divorces. Chances are you and your spouse share a lot of assets, from furniture to stocks to pets! You might even have a sentimental attachment to some of them.

Question by lissasmurf27: Am i entitled to child support in illinois if we file divorce and have joint custody of the children?
My x says does not have to pay child support if we agree to joint custody and if I ask for it in divorce then he will start a full custody battle. Does anyone know how this works ? He makes a lot more than I and I already walked away from my house and pets. Now he wants the kids too!
