To generalize by saying that women are the only parties struck hardest, as a result of divorce is unfair. Also to say that it has no substantial effect on the rich is likewise, a fallacy. In fact, the process of divorce, no matter how long the process drones on, has long lasting economic effects on both sides. Statistics, nonetheless, show no bias in the capturing of reality, that is the disparity between male versus female income. It is clearly noted in published reports, that overwhelming numbers of women fall below the poverty lines. Some studies even indicate that divorced women, who remain unmarried, stay in this same economic state as long as 9 years.
Suggestions for changing a future of economic hardship involves planning. Women can either choose to plan ahead for impending divorces or plan quickly, once the theatrics of divorce are underway. Planning requires a great deal of focus. It may not be advisable to enter into making such big decisions alone, or without a professional. Ask yourself, "What are my goals?" and "What do I see for myself in the future?" Assess where you are currently, and plan for "worse case scenarios".
Planning ahead is ideal, once you have decided that all areas of reconciliation have truly exhausted themselves out. With a cool head, start thinking about what the realities of divorce will mean for you, and any involved children. How will your living expenses change? You will not want to maintain the same budget as before. Remember, you're planning for the possibility of not receiving any financial support.
It's never to late to re-group and plan. There may even be phases to planning, to re-evaluate unsuspecting changes that may come, such as foreclosure, violence and loss of employment. Unarguably the most important plan that must be created, should be the one used to mediate the final dissolution of marriage. This should be a blueprint for your settlement. As with all negotiations. set your expectations a little higher than where you eventually hope to end up.
