Consider Credit, Banking & Record Keeping Issues Headline

• Having your own credit rating is extremely important to enable you to borrow in the future.
• Protect yourself against increasing debt through joint credit card accounts.
• Consider opening your own bank account in case joint accounts become empty. However, be careful about taking funds from joint accounts / lines of credit / investments as this could cause stress and negative feelings making the separation more difficult.
• Record financial information and property items to help establish the value of your assets.
• Consider child custody issues and remember children handle family breakdown better if they don't feel guilty about loving the other parent or wanting to spend time with them. 
• Seek guidance and direction for your specific situation from a qualified Financial Divorce Specialist and legal professional.
