How a post-divorce budget may better position you in divorce

On Behalf of | May 22, 2025 | Divorce |

It’s easy to get wrapped up in the intricacies of the property division and alimony disputes that make up your high-asset divorce. That said, you can’t get so consumed by the process that you neglect to make the legal arguments that position you for an outcome that sets you up for post-divorce success. To develop a strong case, then, you have to know how to present your evidence in a compelling fashion. One way to do that is to create and submit a post-divorce budget.

It might seem like creating a post-divorce budget is tough. But with a little work, you can put an accurate one together that’ll help you do the following:

  • Establish your post-divorce financial needs, which can assist you in arguing for more of the marital estate or establishing an argument for alimony.
  • Enable you to better articulate where you stand and what you need during settlement negotiations.
  • Give yourself an idea of where you can cut expenditures to ensure that you can meet your financial obligations and goals.
  • Help you figure out if you need to find another source of income or a higher paying job.
  • Take uncertainty out of the process so that you can better prepare for the future, thereby reducing the amount of stress to which you’re exposed.
