Investing Post-Divorce
Most clients are shell-shocked following the conclusion of their divorces, but that is one of the most critical times for them to get their lives back on track. Failing to overhaul their financial, estate, insurance and related planning in light of post-divorce realities can have tragic consequences.

While that may be the case, a little guidance to the client as to how to proceed with the rebuilding process can have a tremendous and lasting impact.

Since the existing decisions regarding the holdings in the portfolio were made under those pre-divorce assumptions, most or all of which have changed, the investment decisions should be updated accordingly.
