Financial Custody

Book excerpt: Financial Custody: You, Your Money, and Divorce is aimed at providing both men and women with the resources they need to reach a financially equitable settlement. Some of the many questions this book will help readers answer include: What's the best way to go about dividing assets? What are the tax and liquidity issues that need to be addressed? How should future income be distributed and how are intangible assets such as professional degrees of non-working spouses factored in? Whose insurance should cover whom? The book also features all the necessary financial forms and worksheets, examples of the negotiation process, pre- and post-divorce financial issues, and the process and outcome of an actual divorce settlement.
